United boots a honeymoon couple off a plane, just days after public relations fiasco

From the article:

"A United spokeswoman, Maggie Schmerin, said in a statement that the passengers “repeatedly attempted” to sit in upgraded seating they didn’t pay for and did not follow instructions from crews to go back to their assigned seats. The two were then asked to leave the plane, she said."

If this is true, then really these people should find alternative travel arrangements.

I wouldn't want to take sides, but I also wouldn't be surprised to hear of people trying to cash in on the controversy.

The difference between "Economy" and "Economy Plus" is minuscule, and hardly noticeable to the average observer. Also, if the plane is half empty, why not let the couple sit there? How about just because it would be a nice thing to do for a couple on their honeymoon?

This is why I don't fly. Touch my wife and I'll touch you back... repeatedly... until your lungs are full of sharp bone fragments.
