They did. She got a seat in the same row.

Delta pissed off Ann Coulter and she tweeted the WHOLE sensational altercation!! – The Right Scoop


The solution to that is have your own private plane and learn to fly it yourself.

Hey Annie, $30 is more than enough to buy a new broom. If any airline decides to sell her a ticket in the future, hope they have TSA do a full cavity search and pull the bug out before she boards.

I fine the name Delta funny as the name is the abbreviation for 'DON'T EVEN LEAVE THE AIRPORT'.

given that she has a few million twitter followers and is a best selling author... she has a bit more she can do besides not flying Delta....


and good for the rest of us when a person with some notoriety gets the shaft and uses their platform.


All the airlines are out of control. they sell a seat, double book and kick one.... they decide to give a seat to someone else even though the first person paid a premium for that seat?


That happens every single day and we all just take it. we need to stop taking it.

But Delta says she was in the same row--just a different seat, so she still had the extra space. Not sure why she freaked out--maybe she booked aisle and was put in the middle? But she did not have the space she paid for taken away.

I'm sure after this, she'll get something out of it--credit or free flight. She posted the family's picture publicly to embarrass them. What a witch.

No, you see the problem was, she booked a seat over the right wing, and Delta gave her a seat over the left wing. Annie couldn't handle that.

I've always needed a goal to work for. So now I can either get rich enough to buy my own plane and hire a flight crew or charter my own plane if I want to travel. LOL.

I remember being in the middle seat on an airplane just waiting for the pilot to hit 10,000 feet so I could light up a cigarette.
