MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Twin Cities man is upset about the way his family was treated on a Southwest Airlines flight because of a tweet.
Duff Watson says he was asked to de-board a flight from Denver to Minneapolis with his two kids on Sunday after an agent didn’t like a tweet he wrote about her service.
Watson and the agent had a disagreement before boarding initially.
“I was left, you know, very upset, very embarrassed, very humiliated,” Watson said.
He’s an “A-List” passenger, which means he gets priority boarding. But a gate agent wouldn’t let his 6-year-old and 9-year-old board with him — so they’d all have to wait to board later.
“In leaving I said, you know, ‘Real nice way to treat an A-list. I’ll be sure to tweet about it,’” he said.

---------------------------------
Southwest Airlines is the cheapest airline around where I live, it services the Southern areas of the US with big hubs in Texas and Georgia. Anyway, the A-List is a joke it gets you priority boarding but only for the one ticket - not for the family you would have to buy that for the family not just try to get them on your work mile upgrade - then be a dick and tweet about it. Lady was right to pull the plug on the dudes flight - sweet revenge for dickhead customer, imho.
