I can't really blame her for not wanting sit in economy class, I don't like it much myself having memories when it was actually pleasant to fly in economy class back in the 1950s and 1960s. Now with the extreme overbooking and cramming of passengers into ever shrinking passenger space(due to seats being crammed into every available inch) economy class really does suck. OTH, I don't think she should feel like she is sentenced to death simply because she has to ride with us poor people(yep, when I fly, and I try not to anymore than possible, it is economy for me!).

While LL looks bad raising hell about this I see it as one more proof that airlines do not think of their passengers well being. Did she, or did she not, pay for first class. If she paid for first class she should get first class. Over booking seats is a common practice and nearly cost me a job once when I was bumped from a plane because of over booking. IMO, there is no excuse for that BS, they know how many seats they have and if you pay for a seat you should sure as hell get one. Money refunded does not always make up for the hassle of not making your flight or for giving up the comfort of first class to ride smashed in between two overweight people who both forgot to shower over the last several weeks, and your knees jammed up about the level of your ears. Exaggeration? Maybe, but not much.

While I don't admire the lack of grace shown by Ms Lohan, I blame the frickin, crappily run airlines more than I do her.
