Have A Travel Problem? Tweet It Out!

“Fly by the tips of your fingers.” That was the slogan on cocktail napkins that doubled as toilet paper on a recent United Airlines international flight, according to a post on FlyerTalk, a popular online message forum. “Apparently, they ran out in one (lavatory) half-way home and couldn’t bother to transfer a roll from another,” wrote the original poster, who included a photo of the napkins found inside a makeshift container. The thread has generated at least 10 pages of comments poking fun at United’s toilet paper supply and other business practices. “You guys are doing it wrong,” wrote one person, tongue in cheek. “I purchased a yearly TP subscription on united.com. I do not have this problem.” Wrote another: “a great new benefit to card members at boarding.”
