Actor Matthew Lewis slammed Air Canada after allegedly being removed from first class on a flight to Canada, calling it North America's worst airline. The Harry Potter star spoke about the incident on his Twitter and wrote:
Lewis told his followers that he booked a first-class ticket from Orlando to Toronto, but when he arrived at the gate, an airline official tore the ticket and told him to take the economy class because the flight was full. He also stated that the official instructed him to contact customer service. He continued:
“Honestly never experienced anything like it. I’ve been bumped before. Comes with the territory. But at the gate, less than two minutes to boarding and without explanation or apology? Never. They even said if I wanna complain or get a refund I have to reach out to them!”
In an interview with CTV News Toronto, Lewis mentioned that the system of overbooking flights must stop and that society should raise its voice against it.
Air Canada representatives have not yet commented, but they did respond to his post, stating that they regret everything that happened and asking Lewis to send a DM with more details so that they can help him. Following the incident, let's learn about the star's net worth in the following paragraphs.
