A teacher from Washington, D.C., accused United Airlines of booting her from her first class seat in order to give it to a congresswoman, she wrote in an account that the politician has since contested.
Jean-Marie Simon was at Bush International in Houston on her way home from a trip to Guatemala last week, when she witnessed U.S. Rep Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) get ushered onto the plane before everyone else lined up, she wrote on Facebook.
When it came time for her to board the Dec. 18 flight, Simon said the gate attendant told her that her ticket was not in the system.
“A second United agent confirmed that I had no seat, not just the first class seat I had purchased, but no seat, period. I didn’t even have a reservation anymore,” she wrote.

That is why you print and carry your receipt and boarding documents with you when traveling.
So if she didn't have a seat(ticket) then how did she make it through security to begin with. Either United Airlines is lying or we have a big problem with TSA.
Privilege
Democrats don't know what to say lol
Yuk! That racist anti-trump lying kook!?? Wheres her cowboy hat
WHO THE HELL VOTES FOR THIS RACIST IDIOT
This is the same Black Politian that screams about "white privilege". This is an example of "black privilege" by a Black Politian. Just another Black / Politian proving they are a hypocrite.
Sounds like 'white privilege' to me.
I feel for her.
Miss Simone, you are a school teacher in Washington DC that probably makes you a liberal. Don't you understand that your liberal ideas make the government and the politicians first. Just be thankful that this politician still let you on the plane.
Typical POS dem response about screwing the little guy!
The leaders of our country a waste of human flesh , in this case a racist to all she represents.
Judge much? I taught in DC/Baltimore and certainly am not a liberal. Grow up!
Texas POS
Looks like she took up 2 seats. Govt cheese sure packs on the pounds.
Black racist liberal POS Democrat that thinks she is better than everyone else when in fact she is a low life scumbag who only deserves to be living in the dumpster she came from.
Looks likeUnited shafted her and made it appear she was trying to scam United.
Rep. Jackson Lee is classless. Haven’t you all figured this out yet?
You are an idiot 0838 am!!! This topic is about an airline seat. People like you make me sick!!!
6:44 the discussion is not about an airline seat it's about that black politician PIECE OF S#!T that stole it. If anyone is an idiot it's you.
Were does she get those outfits ? Elton John's yard sale ?
So not sure what this has to do with race when we see it happen with any political figure. How the Hell does she even know it was her seat if she was put on the plane before everyone else. Oh it wouldn't be a problem if for some odd reason if they had been a white politician according to all the comments
well, she was flying on united so she should consider herself lucky that she only had her seat stolen, she could have been beaten senseless and thrown off the plane onto the tarmac and left for dead by united.
everyone knows what united is capable of so anyone who still flies untied has NO right to complain about how they are treated by united.
