Air Canada Is Cancelled Until Further Notice After Ripping Up A First Class Ticket For Harry Potter STAR Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) And Sending Him To The Back Of The Plane
Matthew Lewis, known for his role as Neville Longbottom in the “Harry Potter” franchise, slammed Air Canada on social media after the airline allegedly tore up his first-class ticket without any explanation.
Lewis took his frustration to Twitter on Friday, saying Air Canada is “the worst airline in North America.”
After a Twitter user asked Lewis what happened, he said that airline representatives kicked him out of first-class even before he even boarded the plane.
“Literally tearing my ticket up. No explanation other than ‘full flight,'” he continued.
Lewis also said he was told to sort it out with customer service.
“I asked where that was. ‘Toronto.’ I’m in Orlando,” he added.
Lewis’s tweet caught a lot of attention and even prompted a reply from the airline.
“We regret hearing this. Please send us a DM with further details of the issue, we’ll see if we can help from here,” the airline wrote.
Airlines continue to be out of control. Every single one of them. They make their own rules, they take sick pleasure in watching us become more exhausted with every delay, seat change and over crowded runway. Lately they've been getting their rocks off by completely taking people off of flights, due to "overcrowding," while they're literally in line to board. I've spent more time waiting on a tarmac this summer than anywhere else. But this? We've gone TOO FUCKING FAR.
Matthew Lewis didn't pour his heart and soul into the lovable, clumsy Neville Longbottom for 6 movies, stumbling around with a toad, fucking up at school, to then have a massive redemption/hero arc in movies 7 and 8, pulling the Sword of Gryffindor out of the Sorting Hat and slicing the head off of Nagini the snake, single handedly marking the death of LORD VOLDEMORT as imminent, to get SHOVED TO THE BACK OF THE PLANE ON AIR CANADA??? ITS NEVILLE FUCKING LONGBOTTOM! Of course, sweet humble Matthew doesn't even care about not being in first class. IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER:
What SMART ASS told this man to "take it up with customer service" when they were in a completely different country than said offices? Fuck you Air Canada. I thought Canadians were the nicest? Most agreeable? Most hospitable, accommodating? Hate to break it to you Canada, but you're done. YOU'RE DONE. Don't even BEGIN to blame whatever American was likely working in the Orlando airport on your behalf, with so few braincells that they decided "Hm, you know who really deserves a kick in the ass today? Neville Longbottom." There's no excuse not to know who he is. I know he had a glow up since he was TWELVE, but the Harry Potter cast are some of the most famous people in the world, fan or not, and Neville himself is arguably top 10, maybe top 5 most famous. OMG - another layer I just realized, Harry Potter World is literally IN Orlando at Universal Studios. You're going to tell me this rude as fuck Joe Blow is working in the most "magical" city in America, 20 minutes down the road from the Harry Potter mecca, and doesn't think "hm, maybe I should make some room for Matthew Lewis" ???? So fucked up. Air Canada is dead to us all.
Sidenote - imagine being in the back of a plane on Air Canada and NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM sits down next to you? I'd have a stroke.
