Prescott confused at Gatwick
13.08.08
John Prescott, the former Deputy Prime Minister, was spotted at the easyJet check-in desk at Gatwick Airport this week, aiming to fly up to the Edinburgh Book Festival to promote his autobiography.
Amid growing consternation, according to the London Evening Standard, he was refused a boarding pass. Though he is a former Minister for Transport, he is perhaps not well versed at flying alone as it turned out that he held a British Airways ticket. He appeared ‘bemused’ and more than a little perturbed, according to the newspaper.
In his defence, he may have been confused after easyJet purchased former BA franchise partner GB Airways. Then again, tickets normally give a big clue as to which airline you are flying with.
