The latest in-flight warning from officials at Air France.
With virtually every airline’s finances running on a fumes these days, it’s fair to say that flying anywhere pretty much sucks. There are the outrageous fuck-you-for-flying-with-us fees to check your luggage. The tiny seat you paid big bucks for but you’re forced to share with the Stay Puft Marshmallow’s left butt cheek. And of course, there’s the fear of dying a horrible death either plummeting to the earth at the speed of crapping your pants or being used as a weapon of mass destruction.
But for some passengers on an overnight flight from Paris to Tokyo, their flying experience was even suckier. French police are reporting that around 4,000 euros ($5,744) was pickpocketed from five business class passengers as they slept on the long trip. At the time of the pilfering, the stewardesses said they were busy doling out rations of tomato juice with exactly 3 ice cubes to passengers in second-class.
Issuing a typical the-customer-is-always-wrong statement, Air France said that passengers are responsible for items they have with them in the cabin. Or in other words, you snooze, you lose.
