Stewardess tells about the ridiculous pranks of tourists

Former stewardess and writer Elliot Esther told how passengers try to sneak into business class from economy class.

According to the flight attendant, she has encountered such offenders many times in her career, but she has always managed to catch them. She shared her stories with the Daily Express.

"They move quickly and quietly like ninjas and take up an empty seat in first class. When the flight attendants notice them, travelers come up with the strangest reasons," Esther said.

She has had to deal with healthy tourists pretending to be disabled, as well as returning grandmothers, children, and even priests who swore they had mixed up their seats.

"But the most sophisticated response came from an extremely well-groomed passenger wearing a tailored suit. When I asked him for his boarding pass, he demanded a glass of champagne. Somehow he managed to look down at me, despite the fact that I was standing over him, and then added in a Gatsby voice: "Do I look like I should be sitting with those plebeians?" Esther concluded.
