Alphadawg7 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Wow, Cam wanted more leg room and offered some dude $1500 cash to switch seats with him on a 10 hour flight and the guy turned it down. I am 6’4” but I would have taken that in a heartbeat. I’ve done longer flights in the standard seat, not that bad. https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/watch-cam-newton-offers-stranger-1500-to-swap-seats-on-a-flight-from-paris-was-turned-down-172451409.html
ddaryl Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 if its a 1st class seat then it probably cost $1500 or more. Cam needed to up the ante to $10k 4
Capco Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 A part of me is glad he got denied. I hope they were French too. 1 3

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I would have said no. That's like Cam offering $5. Up the ante baby. 3
Foxx Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 money is not the answer for everything. a damn good amount of things but not everything. 3
row_33 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I’d give him the aisle seat for 15 $100 bills tax free

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Found money. You could stretch out after the flight lol. At least it wouldn’t have meant hopping onto one of these: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/avio-interiors-standing-plane-seat-leg-room-a8969221.html%3famp
Buffalo_Gal Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I'd have turned him down too. I book first class for a reason, Cam needs a better assistant to get him out of the back of the bus (and $1500 is unlikely to have covered that first class seat). 4

He definitely should have upped the ante, but he probably did it publicly and wanted his name on the seat too. These rich athletes should be more generous. That way they can go broke sooner into retirement. BAH HUMBUG! A long flight like that costs a fortune in the first place. He should have made better plans, or paid a higher fraction of what the ticket originally cost. (Disclaimer: I’ve not read the article yet) 1

My charming son is about the same size as Cam (my son is about 10# lighter), and doesn't have anything like Cam's money. My son flies to Europe a lot, and figures out how to book a seat that fits his frame . Cam can get better help (a better assistant) to get him a first class ticket or book a plane-share (you know, the ones that were advertised every 10 minutes during the AAF games).

What self-respecting children’s hospital would even want to do the paperwork for that??? They’re kids, they’ll understand how hard the paperwork is!
