Chris Gayle Slams Emirates Airline For Not Allowing Him to Board Flight Despite Confirmed Ticket

West Indies’ star batsman Chris Gayle on Monday lashed out at a leading airline company (Emirates Airline) for not allowing him to board a flight for which he had a confirmed ticket. Gayle vented out his frustration against the airline on social media and slammed them for not keeping a proper passenger count.

Gayle had a business class ticket but was asked to travel in the economy by the airline carrier. “So disappointed @emirates, I have a confirmed flight and they gonna tell me that they are overbooked. 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.
