A plane was cruising smoothly toward Vancouver when a woman named Lily, seated in economy class, decided she deserved an upgrade.
Without hesitation, she marched up to first class, plopped herself into an empty seat, and made herself at home.
A flight attendant quickly spotted her and approached with a polite but firm smile.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “Excuse me, miss. May I see your boarding pass?”
LILY: (waving a hand dramatically) “I’m Lily. I’m fabulous. I’m headed to Vancouver—and I’m staying right here.”
Trying not to show her frustration, the flight attendant gently explained,
FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “Miss, you purchased an economy ticket. You’ll need to return to your assigned seat.”
LILY: “I’m Lily, I’m fabulous, I’m headed to Vancouver—and I’m staying right here.”
Seeing she was getting nowhere, the flight attendant excused herself and made her way to the cockpit to inform the crew.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “Captain, co-pilot—we’ve got a woman in first class who refuses to leave.”
The co-pilot offered to handle it and walked down the aisle to try his luck.
CO-PILOT: (kindly) “Miss, since your ticket is for economy, I need to ask you to return to your seat.”
LILY: (without missing a beat) “I’m Lily, I’m fabulous, I’m headed to Vancouver—and I’m staying right here.”
Baffled, the co-pilot returned to the cockpit.
CO-PILOT: “I think we’re going to need security when we land. She’s not budging.”
The captain, overhearing the conversation, just chuckled.
PILOT: “Relax. I’ve got this. My wife’s just like her.”
He strolled down the aisle, leaned down, and whispered something into Lily’s ear.
Immediately, Lily’s eyes widened in shock.
LILY: “Oh, I’m so sorry!” she gasped, jumping up and scurrying back to economy without a fuss.
The flight attendant and co-pilot stared at the pilot in amazement.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “Captain, what on earth did you say to her?”
The pilot grinned.
PILOT: “Simple. I told her first class isn’t going to Vancouver.”
