When the PPS Solitaire card fell out of the envelope, the giggles just hit me. They were uncontrollable.
When I parked my ass in Singapore with this full time job, it means that I haven't done many long haul flights for a while. The flight time is so short- not much point flying via business class all the time. So the airline dropped me a nice email and downgraded me to a regular PPS card. Now, they finally deign to give me 'back' my Solitaire, I'm like, whatever.
One time at the departure hall of Changi Airport's T3, I zipped straight to the internet counters because they were the nearest ones from the lifts. They were empty anyway. Plus I had checked in online and printed my boarding pass. All I needed was to drop off the luggage and endorse the boarding pass. The girl at the internet counter was horrified. I had to insist on checking in at this counter instead of being shown to the OTHER special counters reserved for this SPECIAL class of tickets. Waste of time! I was in heels and wasn't in any sort of mood to walk even 5 metres further to get to another counter when this one served my needs perfectly. I think the girl scared I complain her for dunno what thing. I can only conclude that many PPS Solitaire members might be a pain in the ass at airport counters.
Having a PPS card is very big deal meh? I don't really hang around airports very much. I've been quite fortunate not to get stuck at airports for very long. I always turn up for flights 45minutes before the stated time of departure, which leaves me just enough time to sprint from car to boarding gate. I value the PPS card for the extra baggage allowance more than anything else. Well, it does give me free wifi often and be stuck in a way shorter queue when checking in at other airports.
I remember watching this video and cringing in terrible embarrassment. I'm fairly sure she's a Singaporean. So damn bloody rude. Don't understand this PPS card member bullshit. She's such a disgrace.

lol, she should be shipped on a plane, without pilot.
Umm yes - there are PPS passengers who are real pains. :)
I wonder what happened to that lovely lady in the video?
omg!! Scary woman!!
Eh, she truly singaporean - macham like our national icon la - MERLION! We get 'famous' for such things, you know..
tuti: GAAH. i can think of worse punishments to 'torture' her with.
dawn: i'd think so. i've seen so many incidents.
jomel: VERY!
pebbles: i'm not sure if she is though....seems like it.
If she was abusive like this in London Heathrow, she'd be denied boarding. PPS or no PPS.
Such verbal abuse will not be tolerated there.
she sounds like one unfortunately. but singaporean or not, that's such awful behaviour.
if only they could bar her from boarding the plane, then she'll learn to be a little bit more civil.
whoa what is she so mad about? Even when I was stranded in Sydney on Qantas for 24 hrs, passengers only really raised voices after a 20 hr wait. And even then not as rudely as this woman.
kachunknorge: DEFINITELY. i'd like to see her try that on any american airlines or those with the TALL and HUGE Russian stewardesses. she'll be kicked OFF the plane when it's taxi-ing for take-off.
moo: pity i don't know what happened after the video. see if anyone manages to find out?
corsage: what can i say? typical singaporean she is?....!
