Chapter 10 8. Regarding the strong demand to return to the economy class

During the Spring Festival, it’s time to go back to Mumu’s hometown to spend the new year. So, we have a very unforgettable memory... On the recommendation of Mu Mu's colleague Xiao Jing, I bought a standby discount ticket for an airline where Xiao Jing's friend works.The advantage of this kind of ticket is that there is no date on the ticket, and the time limit is one year, and you can go with it when you sign it.The advantage is that even during holidays and the peak of Spring Festival travel, you can still get a 50% discount.But the disadvantage is that you have to wait until the flight to the destination on the same day, and there are still vacancies within half an hour before departure before you can check in.

That is to say, once the tickets for the flight are sold out in all time slots of the day, you have to wait for the vacant seat on the next day's flight. If there is still no seat on the next day, you have to continue to postpone it...and so on. In addition, you have to have a little relationship with this kind of ticket, for example, you can only buy it if you know the internal staff of the airport.In fact, my heart is not without anxiety: Spring Festival travel peak, what if I can’t sign up for a seat and delay work? Facts have proved that Xiaolan and Mumu not only did not postpone the flight this time, but also experienced the experience of spending the money of economy class to fly first class!

——Although, the feeling of flying first class is not very pleasant. On the morning of the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaolan and Mumu rushed to Beijing Airport.When I arrived at the service desk of an airline, I checked in for the 9:00 am flight without much trouble, and everything went smoothly.However, when he was about to return to Beijing on the seventh day of the first lunar month, he was dumbfounded. In front of the service desk of the airline, it was full of people, all of them were waiting to sign the standby discount tickets.Although I greeted my friends who worked at the airport in advance and signed the names of Xiaolan and Mumu on the sorting list the day before, when I checked that day, I was already squeezed into 18 or 19.In other words, Mumu and Xiaolan had to wait until all the seventeen people in front had signed for their seats.

After the names of Xiaolan and Mumu, the names are densely packed, at least there are more than 50 people.These people are all preparing to wait for the visa on this day and then fly to Beijing-but there are only three flights to Beijing that day. Under such circumstances, how dare the person in charge of the service desk sign a seat, regardless of the protests of the people at the front, and just let everyone wait.What are you waiting for?Xiaolan thinks that there are probably two points: first, the seventh day of the first lunar month is the peak of the Spring Festival travel season, and basically there are no vacancies on these flights; second, those who can buy this kind of tickets have something to do with the airport staff. In the case of so many people, and the staff don't know who has a "hard relationship", if they accidentally offend someone, it can't be justified.

As a result, everyone began to show their talents and find their own relationships.Because everyone understands that according to the current situation, according to this order, it may not be possible to sign in after four or five days. Of course, without reservation, Xiaolan and Mumu are no exception. After listening to Xiaolan and Mumu's report of the "serious situation", the friend immediately stated that he came from home to find a solution.While waiting for their friends to arrive, Xiaolan and Mumu were fortunate enough to witness the big PK of various related households.Workers in work clothes kept rushing over from all directions of the airport, found their relatives, and then ran straight to the service desk...

After the friend came over, he confirmed Xiaolan's conjecture: the flights and air tickets of the day were basically sold out. Seeing the related accounts rushing up, and the related accounts being squeezed out, all they could do was shake their heads and sigh. Xiaolan felt that he was about to collapse.I don't know how capable my friend is, whether it's for nothing if I come here, just like what I saw just now, the cows squeezed in and crawled out with their tails drooping.What's more worrying is that Xiaolan and Mumu have too many things.In addition to their respective clothes, local specialties, and gifts from friends, which accounted for four or five large bags, they also brought wedding photos taken in Haikou, especially a 50-inch long and 30-inch wide (note, it is Inch) photo frame, other things have been seriously overweight, and the photo frame is so big, it is hard to say whether it can be taken away.

But Xiaolan obviously underestimated his friend's ability too much. At 8:45, my friend finally arrived at the airport.She didn't even look at the service desk at all, and directly took Mumu and Xiaolan to the ticket gate. Among the crowded crowd, she managed to get two tickets from the ticket gate!Under normal circumstances, luggage is not checked in 30 minutes before the plane takes off. Xiaolan and Mumu not only checked in their luggage 10 minutes before the plane took off, but even if they were overweight, they did not charge a penny. Running wildly all the way, when it was five minutes before take-off, Xiaolan and Mumu boarded the plane like two rich men. The big photo frame could not be checked in, but under the care of friends, they got on the plane together with Xiaolan and Mumu airplane.

Afterwards, Xiaolan and Mumu found out that the friends who dared to love were all two first-class seats! Heaven, earth, the fairy sister has really descended to earth! Xiaolan and Mumu are so beautiful!The feeling of flying first class is so good, and the seat is so spacious!More than enough to put a picture frame behind the seat!The two looked left and right, looked up and down... Well, first class, yeah... It's the first time in our lives, we are flying first class! ! !First class! When I was overwhelmed, I found a problem. Sitting in front of and behind Xiaolan and Mumu, all of them were well dressed in suits and leather shoes. That guy is not a business elite, at least he is also a super upstart!In comparison, Xiaolan and Mumu's clothes are a bit shabby!

This... people can't "clothes well", what's the point of dressing poorly, when the time comes, they won't be enjoying a service!I spend the economy class money to enjoy your first-class service. It’s better to spend less money and get more services than you guys!hey-hey! ——But, but, the so-called good fortune is lost in the face of loss! Stewardess (asking the VIP sitting in the first row, with a gentle tone): Sir, what would you like to eat?Is it braised elbow or beef tenderloin?Fish or Lamb? VIPs in the first row (with a big wave of your hand unceremoniously): Each one has a set!

Stewardess (responses cheerfully): All right. Xiaolan: Wow, the first class is the first class, unlike the economy class where there are only noodles and rice, we mountain people finally see the world! Mumu (clenching his fists excitedly): My God, my God, you can have a set for each!I want me too! Just when Xiaolan and Mumu were drooling with excitement, they were about to tell others that they would each do their own thing—— Stewardess (coming over, with a gentle tone): Excuse me, do you want rice or noodles? Xiaolan & Mumu: Being exposed... (Shocked, disappointed, speechless...thousands of feelings came to my heart.)

Stewardess (repeatedly): Do you want rice or noodles? Mumu (wakes up instantly): One set of rice and one set of noodles! Little Lazy: Mumu, you actually know my wish to have a set... Stewardess (hesitating a little): All right. Little Lazy: ... Mu Mu (poke Xiao Lazy with her finger): How do you feel now? Little Lazy: What about you? Mumu (angrily): I think we were raised by our stepmother. Little Lazy: It’s too vulgar, let’s have something new. Mumu: Then you agree. Xiaolao: I think we are now... that's... this... We are definitely the sheep among the camels! Mumu: ... Next, something even worse happened—— Other first-class VIPs: I'm a little cold. Stewardess (immediately took a delicate blanket): Miss, here is your blanket, if it is not enough, I will get you another one. Little lazy: I am also very cold. Stewardess: Oh. Five minutes later, she threw a rag. Other First Class VIPs: Give me all of today's papers. Stewardess (immediately holding a set of newspapers for the day): Your newspaper, sir. Mumu: I also want to read newspapers. Stewardess: Don't you have a magazine on your seat? Mumu: But it's expired.We saw it on the plane before we came! Stewardess (ignoring, drifting away): ... Little Lazy & Mumu (four eyes facing each other): ... Mumu: Lazy, woo...I strongly request to go back to the economy class! Little Lazy: Woo... Mumu, Woo... Me too...
