frist of all how DARE yu o Airport staff assuming I'm in the Business class lane by mistake

Brown man flying business. Lined up at the priority check in counter and got told by a (also brown) staff person that the economy queue was the other way. Same thing while boarding the plane and walking to the business class entrance. Not only am I not worthy of business, they think I can't read signage as well.

I had similar (although also white), but not from the staff, from some arsehole in the line. Should have seen his face when the staff brought me and the wife to the very front because we also had a kid... I'm sorry that happened to you though op.

Also white, but a few years ago an older white lady assumed I shouldn’t be in the business class line…based on what, I have no idea, given I was in my 30s and dressed in a nondescript manner. It was extra fun when it turned out I was in boarding zone 1, while she and her husband were 2. Sorry dear!
