As much as I sympathise with people trying to get home from the middle east right now

Some of the appeals to airline support pages on X from passengers are hilarious, as they try to get priority over others.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A FLIGHT HOME FOR LITERALLY 10 MINUTES AND I'VE GOT A POORLY FINGER THAT COULD LITERALLY TURN SEPTIC AND I COULD DIE IF I DON'T GET HOME IMMEDIATELY 😤

HEY, I NEED A FLIGHT URGENTLY BECAUSE MY CAT IS AT HOME WITH NO TV ON AND MY PARENTS CAN'T WORK THE REMOTE. I WILL ALSO NEED SEATS FOR MY ENTIRE PARTY OF 12 FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY ARE PROVIDING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT 👉👈

etc....
