Arrived in Manila… and the joy of flying Business
Made it without any problem to Manila..Schiphol was incredibly packed but arriving nearly 2h30 before allowed to make it without too much trouble thanks to Flying Blue Elite member. That cut the queue by at least 300m. After boarding, I had a pleasant surprise as an hostess proposed me to move to business class. I suspect it was due to overbooking so they just gave me a business class seat and gave my seat to someone else.
- “Excuse me, are you Mr Bailliez”
- “Yes indeed”
- “Do you mind changing your seat and take a seat in Business Class instead ?”
- “Absolutely not !”
I’m not going to decline a 170-degree recline seat for a 12-hour flight ! 
You lucky bas****! Have a great holiday!
