A woman has accused Qantas of giving A Current Affair presenter Allison Langdon special treatment on a flight from Sydney to Fiji over the weekend.
Australian mum Courtney, who was on the same flight as the Channel Nine presenter, claimed passengers in economy class had asked staff for wine during the flight but were told the drink was not available.
She said Allison, 45, was also sitting in economy class and was not only offered wine, but her children – Mack, seven, and daughter Scout, four – were allowed to use the toilets in first class but other young people were denied access.
“There was a 60 Minutes star on the plane, I think her name is Allison. She didn’t get a seat in first class, she got a seat in economy,” Courtney ranted on TikTok.
‘We flew Qantas. They turned people away if they asked for wine and that’s fine. I didn’t ask for it, but I heard that they turned a lot of people away.
‘But then she was offered wine and handed it out in front of everyone else. So the people who were denied alcohol had to sit and watch this famous lady being served alcohol when they had bought the same ticket for the same price.
‘The staff treated her better than everyone else. It’s not fair. Why are these famous people treated better than you when you’ve both paid the same amount of money?’
“If you give special treatment to someone just because you think they’re famous, I think that’s wrong. I don’t understand what’s going on with the service these days.”
But Courtney’s account of what happened on the flight was quickly debunked.
In photographs obtained by Daily Mail Australia, Langdon She was pictured with her husband Michael Willesee Jr. and their children at the Qantas business class check-in before flying out for the school holidays.
They were also escorted to the gate by Qantas ground staff, a service normally only provided to business or first class passengers.
The Qantas website also clearly states that all Economy Class passengers on international flights are offered complimentary Australian wines, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Langdon for comment.
A woman has accused Qantas of giving ACA presenter Allison Langdon special treatment on a flight from Sydney to Fiji, despite her being “seated in economy class”. However, photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia show Langdon and her family checking in at the business class desk.
The family was also escorted to the gate by Qantas ground staff, a service normally only provided to business or first class passengers.
Langdon and Willesee Jr. married in 2008 after first meeting in a Sydney bar.
“We were at a bar and a guy in a red T-shirt and dark jeans walked in. And you feel an overwhelming physical attraction to someone? It affected me,” she previously said.
Langdon recently revealed what he plans to do when he stops filing for ACA.
She joined the show in early 2023, replacing Tracy Grimshaw, after a three-year stint co-hosting the Today show with Karl Stefanovic.
In May, he said he hopes to remain at ACA for “a while,” and when he eventually steps aside, he intends to return to college and start a new career..
