The cricketer tweeted, “Just turned up for a flight with VirginAtlantic for them to tell me my seat is broken on the flight, therefore they’ve said I can’t travel on it. Absolutely crazy. Thanks, Virgin Atlantic. Shocking and embarrassing.” A user replied to his tweet, “Would you rather stand up the entire flight? If the seat is broken and the flight is full, why is that shocking and embarrassing??” Another said, show them your private jet.

Virgin Atlantic Airways also replied to his tweet, saying, “Hi Sam, I am so sorry to hear this - if you have a chat with our team at the help desk they will be more than happy to look into alternative flights for you. You can also send your feedback to our customer care team via the official mail id.”

Furthermore, a few also shared their gruesome experience with Virgin Atlantic Airways. A user named Micheal Frankland revealed that while he was flying home from Barbados, his seat was broken to an extent that it could be stowed away in the overhead bin. Although he complained about it to the crew and they said it could be fixed, nobody came to take a look at it, and eventually, the flight took off with a broken seat.
