Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet Complains About Economy Flight From L.A. to NYC
Selling Sunset star Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet apparently was not pleased with the service she received during her recent commercial flight.
“Seriously, [American Airlines] oversold business and I have to go economy even though [I] paid for business,” Fitzgerald Bonnet, 44, claimed via Instagram Story on Saturday, January 11, sharing footage of her seat. “Never again!!!”
Fitzgerald Bonnet also tagged the airlines in her impassioned upload. American has not publicly addressed the reality TV star’s claims. Us Weekly reached out for comment.
Fitzgerald Bonnet was traveling for a business trip, arriving in the Big Apple with her pets and husband Romain Bonnet.
“Everything’s safe, everything’s good,” she said in a follow-up Instagram Story video, seemingly referring to the ongoing and devastating wildfires surrounding the greater Los Angeles area. “Now, I’m going to rest and go do the conference tomorrow. I’ve got some business stuff here, but … it’s always fun [in the city].”
Fitzgerald Bonnet has not further shared an update on her alleged drama with American Airlines.
Amid Fitzgerald Bonnet’s work trip, her home state of California is facing a terrifying string of wildfires that have destroyed thousands of structures in Los Angeles and its surrounding neighborhoods. So far, 16 individuals have died.
Alongside her Oppenheim Group bosses, Fitzgerald Bonnet has committed to donating her services to help victims find new rental properties.
“If you’ve lost your home in the Los Angeles fires and you need to find a place to rent until your home is rebuilt, all Oppenheim Group agents will represent you for free or credit you back any commission we receive in the transaction,” boss Jason Oppenheim, wrote in a Thursday, January 9, Instagram post. “Please reach out to us at [email protected].”
Jason, 47, co-owns Oppenheim Group with his twin brother, Brett Oppenheim. Fitzgerald Bonnet, who is one of the agents at the brokerage, commented on Jason’s upload with a series of heart emojis.
Jason also shared a video, explaining why the O Group pledged to support those in need.
“I woke up this morning to a lot of friends and clients reaching out because they lost their homes over the last couple of days and they need help with places to live now,” Jason said. “Their families are displaced and as real estate agents, we obviously have an obligation to help them find a place — even when it’s going to be difficult with thousands of people [are] looking for places and [there are] not nearly as many houses available.”
He further urged all of the city’s realtors to “come together and work hard for the community,” noting, “This is our time to be able to give back.”
