Harry Potter actor Matthew Lewis has slammed an airline after he was allegedly kicked out of first class on a flight to a fan convention in Canada.
The star, who played pudgy cardigan-wearing hero Neville Longbottom in the franchise, told his Twitter followers his first class ticket was torn up when he approached the gate at Orlando International Airport, and he was bumped down to economy.
The Mirror reports that the 33-year-old took to the site on Friday to vent his frustration, writing: "Confirmed. @AirCanada is the worst airline in North America. And that's saying something." His fuming tweet has nearly received 4,000 likes and been retweeted 434 times, with others sharing their own grievances about the airline.
In a series of replies to other Twitter users, Matthew said he had a ticket to fly first class from Orlando to Toronto with the airline, but he was booted down to economy.
"Kicking me out of first class to back of plane is what it is but doing it at the gate. Literally tearing my ticket up. No explanation other than 'full flight'," the Me Before You star said.
"Said if I wanted to sort it I should go to customer service. I asked where that was. 'Toronto.' I'm in Orlando," the actor fumed.
"Honestly never experienced anything like it. I've been bumped before. Comes with the territory.
"But at the gate, less than two minutes to boarding and without explanation or apology? Never. They even said if I wanna complain or get a refund I have to reach out to them!"
In a statement to CTV News Toronto, Matthew said he hadn't yet spoken to Air Canada in person about the incident yet. He told them: "Air Canada customer service is s***e and we as a society should not be okay with normalizing the profiteering of overbooking
