don't fly much, thank goodness, but the last two months flew twice with both flights 4 hrs each way. definitely no fun as seats are cramped for sure. Flew AA both times , no issues. Back in the 80's I had to fly to LA for job training. Some may remember Piedmont Airlines, bought by USAir. I check in and woman says they have first class seat open if I want it, no charge. I did work for Flying Tigers at time so that probably helped but I jumped on that offer.
Coulter isn't poor by any means, was surprised she doesn't fly first class. would not be surprised if someone at Delta , knowing who she was, decided to screw her over. If she paid for the seat she should have had it.
