British Low-Cost Airline Rewards Travelers Who Are Respectful

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. You ever feel like airline employees are behavioral therapists? I mean, you keep your cool, recognize that no, your missed connection is not their fault - maybe an agent will sneak you on that other flight. Lose it? Be disrespectful? Well, good luck.
