Recent news waxes lyrically about Indonesias newly installed President flying economy class to Singapore.
This reminds me, years ago, I was operating a flight London to Bahrain. We were forced to land in Damascus as the Syrians said we overflew without permission. Everything was sorted out when an economy seated passenger lent us lots of US$ to pay a fine.
This passenger was offered a free upgrade to first class for his help but he refused...he said..."The younger, prettier and more vulnerable Flight Attendants are in economy...those in 1st class are getting old!"
Maybe Jokowi is smarter than we previously thought!:icon_e_biggrin:
