West Indies’ star batsman Chris Gayle on Monday lashed out at a leading airline company for not allowing him to board a flight for which he had a confirmed ticket.
Gayle also wrote on social media that he had a business class ticket but was asked to travel in economy.
“So disappointed @emirates, I have a confirmed flight and they gonna tell me that they are over booked. Not only that, @emirates want me to travel economy when it’s a business class ticket – so now I have to travel on a later flight! Just ridiculous @emirates !Bad experience,” Gayle tweeted.
