KulJackie O defends Allison Langdon’s ‘entitled’ flight behaviour

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson have defended Allison Langdon after a woman accused Qantas of giving the A Current Affair host special treatment on a flight from Sydney to Fiji over the weekend.

Mother-of-five Courtney Babic, who was on the same flight as the Channel Nine presenter, claimed passengers in economy had asked staff for wine during the flight but were told the beverage wasn’t on offer.

She claimed Allison, 45, was also seated in economy and was not only offered wine, but her children – son Mack, seven, and daughter Scout, four – were allowed to use the bathrooms in first class, but other youngsters were denied access.

The radio hosts said it is common for celebrities to receive special perks.

‘It’s not her fault if she’s asked for wine and they’ve given it to her. If you’re going to get special treatment, you’re not going to knock it back,’ Jackie said.

Kyle agreed, adding: ‘On international flights, I always leave Qantas with a bag of free champagne. It’s because I’m famous.’

‘What’s the point of being famous if you can’t get sh*t for free?’ he added.

Jackie then admitted ‘you get a lot of free stuff sent to you’ when you’re a celebrity or having a large following.

In the wild TikTok post, fellow Qantas passenger Courtney ranted: ‘There was a famous person from 60 Minutes on the plane, I think her name is Allison. She didn’t get a first class seat, she got an economy seat.’

‘We flew Qantas. They were turning people down when they were asking for wine and that’s fine. I didn’t ask but I overheard a lot of people being rejected.

‘But then they were offering her wine and handing it out in front of everyone else. So the people who were being declined alcohol had to sit and watch this famous lady be served alcohol when they bought the same ticket for the same price.

‘The staff were treating her better than everyone else. It’s just not fair. Why are these famous people getting treated better in front of you when you’ve both paid the same amount of money?

‘If you’re going to give someone special treatment just because you think they’re famous, I think that’s wrong. I don’t understand what’s going on with service these days.’

But Courtney’s account of what happened on the flight was quickly debunked.

In photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia, Allison was pictured with her husband Michael Willesee Jr. and their children at the Qantas business class check-in before flying out for the school holidays.
