Lee Hye-ri, known as Hyeri, is a South Korean actress, singer, and TV personality who rose to fame as a member of the K-Pop group, Girl\u2019s Day. Earning the nickname the \u201cNation\u2019s Little Sister,\u201d it\u2019s no surprise to find out that Hyeri has an incredibly huge and passionate fanbase who will always have her back. This is something Delta Air Lines recently found out after Hyeri slammed them on Instagram for allegedly downgrading her seat without a refund, unleashing an onslaught of backlash against the company. \u201cI made my reservation one and a half months ago and even selected a seat in advance, but they downgraded me to Economy Class, saying there were no First Class seats available,\u201d Hyeri wrote. Calling it the \u201cmost absurd experience,\u201d she went on to say, \u201cThe airline told me to take the next flight if I didn\u2019t like the seat and did not even give me a refund. Haha. I booked two seats, how could both be downgraded?\u201d Many rushed to show their support for Hyeri and praised her for shining a light on what they claimed was a common practice for Delta Air Lines. \u201cFirst class to economy downgrade without a refund of difference is insane\u2026 Delta is known for overbooking and treating passengers like shit,\u201d one person commented on a Reddit thread. \u201cGood for her for using her platform to put them on blast.\u201d Delta Air Lines has since released a statement saying, \u201cUsually, in these instances, we ask if passengers would like to fly on the next flight in which First Class seats are available. If passengers choose to sit in Economy, we refund the difference in price.\u201d They also claimed to be in the process of refunding Hyeri\u2019s lost money, apologizing for \u201cany inconvenience caused to the customer.\u201d Check out all the latest entertainment stories on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
