SNL Alum Slams American Airlines for Allegedly Giving His First Class Seat to Pilot, Downgrading Him to Coach

[Coventina]

Comedian Jim Breuer is calling out American Airlines for allegedly giving away his first class seats so a pilot could sit there instead.

In a Feb. 18 video shared to his YouTube account, Breuer explains that he and his wife were coming back from a trip to Honolulu, where they visited their daughter, who has an externship there for school.

The Saturday Night Live alum said that because it was a long journey from their home base in Florida, and since he was about to go on tour for three months, they decided to “splurge” on round-trip, first class tickets for their flights.

While the flight there went smoothly, he said in the video that the issue occurred during a layover in Phoenix. (A representative for Breuer later clarified to PEOPLE that the incident occurred during his redeye flight from Honolulu to Phoenix.)

Continuing his story on Feb. 18, the comedian said that while he and his wife were waiting to board their flight at the airport, they saw a “crew of American Airlines workers” arrive.

If I had splurged on two first class tickets and been given a measley $500 voucher in return (First class between Honolulu to Phoenix)
I'd be pissed!

I just checked and two first class tickets on that flight cost $2020!!!!
