Ummmm ok... I would not really call myself entitled. I have spent all of my childhood and majority of my adult life living and working in 3rd world countries. My most recent holiday was last month and I spent 10 days on a remote island with no electricity or aircon, no running water, and a communal toilet out back with just a bucket of water and I loved it. Personally I think most would be to entitled to holiday like this, I would say as a general most Americans would be too entitled to go on holiday with no aircon in the tropics or use a squat toilet with a bucket of water to shower with and eat basic local food 3 meals a day. I have even backpacked through Tanzania, Uganada, Rawanda, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana, Angola, Zimbabwe, Zambia camping the whole way.
I have lost track of how many 3rd world countries I have visited and even on super local discount airlines and like
@Joneill I have never had a bad customer service experience outside the US nor have I ever had to wait 1.5hr for my luggage. Not to mention all the other forms of public local transportation I have taken from being on the back scooters, riding the roof of buses, back of trucks, shipping boats, etc. and all were very positive experience with the nicest most helpful people you will ever meet.
Last year I was in Ethiopia and my bag was lost and I thought I was screwed but the airline people bent over backward to help me. They were checking computers, making calls on phones, on radios, talking with multiple people etc. trying to search for it. Later the customer service agent gave me here Whatsapp because she knew I did not have a local phone number and said they contact me when the find it. She kept in contact and found it. I have never had customer service like that in the US. Imagine if you were a foreigner (limited English speaking) in the US and your bag was lost, do you really think there experience would be as good as my experience in Ethiopia??
I have found in 3rd world countries everyone is always willing to help you and the nicest people you will ever meet.
Go fly Singapore Airlines and then fly American Airlines it is like night and day the way the flight attendants and check in agents treat you.
Just to add to the fact that I don't think I am entitled Here is a perfect example also show casing how amazing people in 3rd world counties are. This is where I spent 12hrs on a public ferry from Kendari to Wakatobi, you sit on a mat on the floor, no air con, no one speaks English, but the nicest most friendly people you will ever meet. Boat captain showed me the bridge and around the boat, the boat operators offered me food, etc. just a really great experience
