His viewers didn’t forgive him
An influencer who has refused to fly economy class has prompted angry reactions from his viewers.
Aviation expert Daniel Goz, known as Nonstop Dan, has sparked anger among his viewers after sharing a video called ‘There are no flights left’.
The luxury traveller deleted part of a video in which he claimed he was stranded, as halfway through the clip, a graphic popped up showing upcoming flights and said “there are a few seats on some days in economy”.
Nonstop Dan was charting his journey from Singapore to Europe and claimed that he was stuck in Asia on the day the US and Israel started bombing Iran.
Some of his viewers asked him why he wouldn’t “just fly economy”, as they accused him of being insensitive and told him to “read the room”.
“Guy has too much ego to even consider flying economy in this situation”, one viewer commented.
He appeared to shorten the video by more than a minute and changed the title to “Millions of travellers are about to be stranded”, following the backlash.
“Lots of you saying ‘just fly economy!’ and I totally get that. The pricing example I show on screen in the video is economy (should’ve been clearer about that), and as you can see there’s barely anything available for the next two weeks”, the 28-year-old wrote in a pinned comment under the video.
“The few remaining economy seats are going for $1500+ per person one-way and even those will be booked up soon. I mentioned premium cabins because that’s what this channel usually covers.”
“The bigger point of this video, that global aviation capacity has been massively disrupted and millions of travelers, families, students, people on work trips, will feel ripple effects, still stands. I hope it’s useful to those of you figuring this out. Stay safe everyone”, he concluded.
