Chapter 220: No one boarded the plane

As an athlete, Li Ai's reaction and action speed are very fast, and he grabbed the tennis racket bag that the staff member picked up, and asked again, "What do you want to do?"

"I suspect that the size of your ears is beyond the standard of carry-on luggage. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The staff member saw that Li Ai was holding the bag tightly, and it seemed that he couldn't grab it with his strength alone, so he simply let go of his hand and pointed to a U-shaped channel measuring the size of the luggage, "You put it in there and measure it." ”

Li Ai couldn't help frowning when she saw that her tone was stiff and completely rude, but she didn't say anything, just put the tennis racket bag in her hand into a U-shaped slot that measured the size of the luggage as required, and then looked at the staff member and said, "Look, my bag is not over-standard." ”

"No, no," the staff member shook his head, squatted down, grabbed the corners of the tennis racket bag and pulled it so that the corners were out of the range of the U-shaped slot, and then took out his phone to take a picture as he said, "It's indeed exceeded!"

"You can't do this!" Li Ai said a little dumbfounded, "You pull like this, which makes a lot of air in the bag, wastes space, and if you don't exceed the standard, it will become over-standard." I flew from Paris to London last week, and I took it with me on the plane, and it was in the baggage compartment above the cabin that I could fit in. ”

"Is it an American Airlines plane?" the female staff member asked, looking up.

"No, it's British Airways!" replied Li Ai.

"Okay, then all I can say is that the standards are different for each airline!" the staff member spread his hands.

Li Ai was speechless.

"The size of your bag is beyond the standard, and it must be checked in!" Taking advantage of Li Ai's stunned efforts, the staff member lifted her tennis racket bag out of the U-shaped slot, pasted a consignment label to it, and said to Li Ai, "Give me your passport and boarding pass, you must check in this bag." As he spoke, he directly reached out and snatched the passport and boarding pass that Li Ai was holding.

"What?!" Li Ai, who was a little stunned, immediately reacted, and reached out to try to snatch back his passport and boarding pass, "What's the matter, I have to check it in?"

"Don't touch me!" The female staff member was definitely not Li Ai's opponent as a tennis player, and when she saw her stretch out her hand, she immediately screamed. This scream immediately attracted the attention of many other passengers waiting at the boarding gate, some of whom followed the sound to look this way, while others simply stood up and walked to the side to watch.

"Why do you take my things casually?" Li Ai was shocked by her scream, and looked at her dissatisfied, "You give me back my passport, boarding pass, and bag! I am a tennis player, and the racket in that bag is our most important thing, and they are all specially made, and it is impossible to buy a racket with the same weight and balance point on the market." ”

"Athletes don't have privileges!" the staff member said, rolling his eyes, "since you've broken the rules, I have the right not to let you on the plane." Do surfers carry surfboards, and skaters have to bring competition skates on planes, and we have to let them get on the plane?"

"Who said that athletes have privileges? But are surfboards and tennis rackets the same thing?" Li Ai said angrily, "Tennis rackets are not contraband like ice skates! The official website of the airline says that you can carry a tennis racket with you on the plane!"

"Tennis rackets are OK on the plane," the staff member nodded, "but your tennis racket bag is oversized." You can take the tennis racket out of your bag and get it on the plane, but the bag must be checked in!"

"What shit!"

Li Ai hesitated, and was about to grit his teeth and nod in agreement, when a sentence of Chinese suddenly broke out in the crowd of onlookers. Then, a tall man wearing a baseball cap and a height of more than 1.8 meters walked out of the crowd, directly picked up the tennis racket bag behind the staff member, and walked towards Li Ai, who was surprised. Except for Xiao Yao, of course, it will not be anyone else.

"Who are you? Are you with her?" The staff member was also startled by the man who suddenly killed the tennis racket bag that was taken behind her, and subconsciously grabbed the tennis racket bag in Xiao Yao's hand with one hand, and pointed at Xiao Yao with the other hand holding Li Ai's passport and boarding pass.

"Of course we're together!" Xiao Yao replied in English, with his right hand flicked back, he dodged the hand of the staff member who came to grab the tennis racket bag, and with his left hand, he pinched the passport and boarding pass that the staff member sent to him because he was pointing at him, and snatched it lightly and skillfully.

Xiao Yao walked up to Li Ai, handed him the tennis racket bag, passport, and boarding pass, and said in Chinese, "Sister Ai, you can bring two pieces of carry-on luggage on the plane, right? If you check in the racket bag, is there any other bag that can hold the racket? Then she will tell you that a racket is a piece of luggage! You don't just have one or two rackets in your bag, right? Do you take a racket and your backpack on the plane or hold two rackets on the plane? The rest of the rackets will still have to be checked in!"

"Are you?" said Li Ai, looking at the young-looking big boy in front of him with some confusion.

"I'm Xiao Yao, I've seen you play, I'm your fan!" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand.

"Thank you," Li Ai stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Yao's hand, "Xiao Yao?

"Probably not. Xiao Yao took off the hat on his head and said, "But I'm singing, you may have seen me on TV and the news." ”

"Ah, are you that Xiao Yao?!" Li Ai said suddenly, happily, "I'm also your fan, I like to listen to your "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Fly Higher". If it weren't for the fact that there were still disputes that had not been resolved, she would have taken out her mobile phone to take a selfie with Xiao Yao.

"Hey, you guys!" said the ignored staff member as he looked at the two chatting, "Don't think you'll be fine if you snatch your bag back! ”

"I'm coming!" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and pressed Li Ai, who was about to speak, and said to the staff member with a smile, "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" the staff member said with a stiff neck, "if you bring excess luggage on the plane, it will take up everyone's space, and other passengers will not agree!"

"Really?" Xiao Yao looked at the crowd of onlookers next to him and said, "You also saw just now, this bag, as long as you don't pull the corners apart, it won't exceed the standard at all! It won't take up extra space! Think about it, when you are out and about, do you need help from others? Should you make it easier for others? Now, is there anyone who objects to this tennis player bringing his own tennis racket bag on the plane?"

"No!" Pei Minyi took the lead in shouting.

"You are all from Huaxia, all the way!" the staff member glanced at Pei Minyi and said. Although the staff member didn't understand what Xiao Yao and Li Ai said when they spoke in Chinese, they at least judged that they were speaking Chinese.

"OK, Huaxia people don't speak," Xiao Yao pointed to a middle-aged black woman, "Do you think she can bring this bag up?"

"Yes!" the middle-aged black woman nodded.

At this time, the announcement of the start of boarding of the flight suddenly sounded on the loudspeaker in their area.

"Okay, the other passengers have no opinion, can we board the plane?" Xiao Yao said as he looked at the staff member.

"No way!" the staff member said angrily, "If you don't check in your bags, then no one will board the plane!"

As soon as these words came out, the passengers waiting for the plane were immediately in an uproar.

"You mean to force other passengers to oppose us going up with a slap bag?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The passengers of a whole plane can't board the plane, you really have a lot of power!"

"Yes, why don't you let us board the plane?" Hearing Xiao Yao's words, the other passengers also clamored.

"No, no, no, I mean, they don't have their baggage to check-in, and I can't spare my hands to help you validate your boarding pass and check in. Seeing that it was about to cause public outrage, the staff member quickly waved his hand and explained, "If you need to board a plane, please line up, first-class passengers are preferred, please come to the front first." ”

"No, we want to see both of them on the plane first. The middle-aged black woman said.

"Yes, we want to see both of them board first. Others chimed in.

As soon as the staff changed their words, the other passengers were not in a hurry to board the plane, and continued to stand at the boarding gate and watch the excitement in tacitly. Anyway, not a single person got up, and the airline couldn't have dropped a whole plane of people and just flew to New York empty.

"Their luggage violates the regulations, and they can't get on the plane if they don't check it in!" Speaking of Li Ai and Xiao Yao, the staff member hardened up again and insisted.

"Which airline has to pull the bag to the maximum size when measuring the size of the luggage? Could it be that I put an inflatable lifebuoy in my carry-on luggage, and I also have to fill the lifebuoy and then measure the volume?" Xiao Yao still beckoned to Fang, "I have to find someone to ask!"

Xiao Yao said to Fang Yi, who walked to the side: "Still, the phone number of the customer service manager who called last time they called to apologize and compensate for the guitar is kept, right? Since the staff member didn't know who he was at all, he found someone who knew him to communicate.

"Yes. Fang still nodded, took out his mobile phone from his bag and dialed a call, and then handed the mobile phone directly to Xiao Yao.

"Hello Mr. James! I'm Jan Xiao, the Chinese singer whose guitar was broken by your American Airlines Li crew! Do you remember me?" Xiao Yao smiled and said to the other end of the phone, "It's a coincidence that I'm on an American Airlines plane again, and I'm in trouble again, and I want to complain!" At the same time, I have a strong creative inspiration for writing songs now!"

"Wait! What are you talking about?!" Because of the time difference, it was still early in the morning in the United States, and Mr. James was sleeping at home in the United States, and he answered the phone in a daze. Hearing the words coming out of the phone, Mr. James almost rolled off the bed, took away the phone, and when he looked at the phone number on the caller ID that was indeed the troublesome guy he named "180 million", Mr. James immediately woke up!

"Do you need me to repeat it?" Xiao Yao said with the corners of his mouth curled, "I want to complain!"

"I see!" said James hurriedly, "could you please tell me what you want to complain about?"

"I'm at London's Heathrow Airport right now, and I'm travelling with a professional tennis player from our Huaxia who says her carry-on tennis racket bag is oversized and won't let us on the plane. But in fact, the size of this bag is not excessive, it was hard-pulled by her to an excessive size!" Xiao Yao said briefly.

"So you're at the gate and haven't gotten on the plane yet, right?" James said, "Please tell me the flight number and gate number, and I'll contact the person in charge at Heathrow Airport to deal with it on the spot." ”

"Okay, we are at Gate 7 in Area D of the International Terminal, and the flight number is AA735," Xiao Yao reported the boarding gate and flight number, "Now that we have started boarding, I hope we will not be thrown behind!"

"Of course not!" James who took the paper on the bedside and wrote down the information Xiao Yao said immediately, "I will inform my colleagues in London that this flight will definitely not take off until your matter is properly resolved!

"Jack!" James, who hung up Xiao Yao's phone, immediately made a phone call to the person in charge of American Airlines in London, "That guy who caused us to lose 180 million yuan in a video is now having trouble with our people at Heathrow Airport again, you should quickly send a clever person to the scene to take a look, immediately! Gate 7 in Area D of the International Terminal, the flight number is AA735! Deal with it as soon as possible, and the conditions that can be met will meet him!" He is the focus of the board of directors' announcement, I don't want another song and video mocking us to come out on the Internet and cause the company to lose another 180 million, and those people on the board of directors will kill us and go crazy!"

"Hell!" called out on the other end of the phone, "I'm at Heathrow right now, I'll go there myself!"

Before the boarding gate, because Xiao Yao's voice was not loud when he called, except for Fang Yi and Li Ai beside him, no one else heard what he said on the phone, so after Xiao Yao hung up the phone, the staff still had a fearless stalemate with Xiao Yao and others, and a group of boring passengers were watching the excitement on the sidelines, and there was really no one boarding.

At this time, it has been more than ten minutes since the announcement began to board the aircraft, but the crew members who waited at the front door of the aircraft to welcome passengers to board did not see a single passenger boarding, and the bridge connecting the terminal and the aircraft door was still empty. So, the purser walked in from the plane curiously, reversed the bridge into the boarding gate of the terminal, and asked the ground staff: "Candace, why haven't there been passengers boarding yet?"
