Liverpool airport must be busy as clearly no cost of living crisis for the thousands of fans who went to Paris.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Well at least they have their priorities right

So it"s not just little britain that"s falling apart ASCP?:

On the subject of over booking, Jan 2019 my wife and I were bumped off an overbooked flight from Istanbul to Hong Kong.

We were put in a hotel for the night ( well starting from 3 am , next day flight at 1 am ), three hotel meals ( meh standard ). Not a big deal for us as we had no urgency in our return.

Was very happy though, as we each received Euros 600 in compensation that was paid in to my bank account a week later.

We had an extra day in Istanbul and a substantial contribution to the cost of the flights.

Given the choice I would have this on every flight.

My best compensation story is - Living in Dubai going to Singapore for a budget meeting, as the hotel in Sing was already paid for I decided to take the wife along, I had an economy ticket (company paid) so I shelled out for her economy ticket & used air miles to get us both bumped up to Business class, on checking in Business class was full so Emirates bumped us up to First class - When we went to the departure gate there was a long queue, so I flashed the first class boarding passes & went to the front of the queue, where a mouthy woman started to protest that there was a queue & I was queue jumping, the Emirates guy just ushered us to the front & str8 on board, seats 1A & 1B - about 45 minutes later this woman boarded ( her seat was like row 80 or something) by which time we were sitting there drinking Champagne, the look she gave me....lol.
Coming back we were bumped up to Business class on the strength of Economy class being full & my Emirates loyalty card having recently become a gold card - Great trip all for the additional cost of one economy class plane ticket for the wife.

The company I worked for at the time had a policy that everyone flew economy, unless there were specific reasons not to such as a deadline for a meeting & no economy tickets available, but at least even the CEO travelled economy - I knew friends that worked for companies where anything over a 4 hour flight was OK to go Business class but the people I worked for wasn't one.
Where we did OK was operating out of Dubai we were able to use Emirates for the vast majority of flights so we built up plenty of loyalty points / air miles so upgrades happened more often -
It fell apart when we got a new regional director who started to get us booked on any airline that was cheapest, stopped paying baggage allowance so you had to pay extra every time you had a bag to carry (which was about 90% of the time) & cut the hotel allowance rates, he thought he was being clever but then the travelling sales (myself included) stopped co operating, made sure we didnt travel at weekends, if we were travelling overnight worked less hours in the office, effectively stopped going the extra mile to be helpful etc.

Emirates do have separate lines for checking in & its usually very well organised the line that I queue jumped was right at the departure gate handled by DNATA with some Emirates supervision -
