.. Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem calling it "peasant class"? It's the kind of slang I'd use and I always fly economy.

That's our word, she can't use it

Exactly haha. A poor person can say it to joke about themselves and their circumstances, a rich person doing so is just in poor taste..

I joke about calling it steerage. Just keep walking back until you hear the Irish fiddles.

Personally, I call it cattle class.

Imho it's less about calling out the airplane than preemptively shitting on her neighbour. It's the whole "I'm with the plebes so my neighbour will be a pita" that makes her sounds so disdainful.

Also, I call it cattle class when I fly because that's how it makes me feel.
