I guess it’s just another way the airlines are trying to fight the high costs of fuel. They get ad revenue and it’s seen as a benefit to the attendants (who get a commission).

sounds shady to me. I don’t think I’d like having credit cards hawked to me like that when I have no choice to leave.

Sounds like spam to me. Though mentioning the credit card still feels like crossing the line, I would have been fine with it. But it sounds like they were being too pushy.

I agree that if they had simply mentioned the offer that it would have been ok, but they were too pushy about it. Rude.

I understand what you’re saying, but it wouldn’t bother me at all if they offered it once during the flight. If they really pushed it, well, I always think that’s inappropriate.

That would be a perfect time to pull out my book. Or turn on my ipod, if I had one.

Personally, I don’t feel it’s appropriate at all. You probably paid a pretty penny for your flight – shouldn’t that exempt you from being subjected to such blatant advertisements?

Where do we draw the line? I wonder if they tried to nickel and dime the passengers in first class as well…
