Have you ever been denied special treatment?

Yes, because I'm a nobody, but I sure have tried. I got upgraded to premium economy on Delta once, though. I was very amused for all of 90 minutes.

goals, tbh!

It was all of one leg of a flight to Europe lmao - and not the long one, either. All of NC to JFK. I was right back in economy for the rest of the trip, but hey, it's Delta, I'm not complaining. Could have been worse.

I once got updated to a suite at a hotel, they messed up and booked me and my fam for one room for two nights instead of two rooms for one night. We felt so fancy, had a little living room, fancy chocolates on the pillows, a giant soaking tub, and free bottles of water.

Once I was traveling with my dad and they upgraded us to a suite, except it was a room with just a king, no sofa bed or anything, and they were out of cots. The sofa was actually a loveseat so I ended up sleeping on the floor for 3 nights until they could move us to a normal room.

Bro, it was a king size bed, you should’ve just shared it with your dad. You probably could have reached out your arm the whole way and still not touched him. You slept on the floor?!?

I'll just say there is a reason my parents don't sleep in the same bedroom anymore.

(ok fine it's the snoring LOL)

[tetrazzinichikn]

Oh that’s soooo different. My mom is like that and I have DEFINITELY slept on the floor in a hotel to avoid sharing the bed with her loud ass honking. I take it back!!

[squirrels_oh_no]

haha yeah the snoring is just SOOOO loud. Going camping with him is always an adventure because of sharing a tent but also figuring out how far away you can hear his snoring when you go to the bathroom at night. It's a beacon.

Literally even ear plugs do nothing to drown out truck sounds my mom makes when she sleeps. The worsttttttt.
