ARN: First Class Passengers, Second Class Treatment

Here's a new one... As with the journey from Newark to KL, we have had to disembark in Stockholm. However, this is the first time I've ever witnessed the boarding process disallowing business class passengers until the very end. They started with children and people needing assistance, which is normal. Usually, the next step is back of the plane (which they did) and business class passengers at their leisure, which they did not do. So one of my fine colleagues assumed they just overlooked it and decided to board. Denied. Ouch. And so it went... Rows 48 and higher. Rows 31 and higher. All economy passengers. Then waiting... waiting... waiting... Business class passengers getting annoyed, but remaining good-humoured... Finally allowing us to board. Weird.

Touche...

Just saying it was weird. In the midst of a 32 hour journey, you can get a little oversensitive, that's all. Maybe Malaysia Airlines' rules are different from everyone else's.
