Businessman Faces Backlash for Flaunting Emirates First-Class Boarding Passes to ‘Paradise’

Businessman Faces Backlash for Flaunting Emirates: An entrepreneur from Britain has gone viral for an Instagram post that features a picture of four first-class boarding passes on an Emirates flight for Christmas holiday.

His post on LinkedIn earlier this week revealed, 'Paradise is calling me, and I'm flying there for vacation after a long and busy year.' He said he made it a point to plan an escape almost every Christmas to a warmer place.

However, what attracted people's attention in the post was the image that accompanied it-the photo of four first-class boarding passes of Emirates and four British passports. He further stated in the comments section that he was going to spend the holidays in Langkawi, Malaysia.

"Looking forward to a well-earned break in paradise. First stop Dubai," the Stamford-based entrepreneur said on LinkedIn.

"Work hard, play harder. Merry Christmas to all."

The post found itself on the popular Reddit forum LinkedInLunatics, where users have had a go at the traveler for what they considered to be an overindulgence into luxury flying.

"Look, I fly First to paradise!" a Redditor titled the post, taking a jab at the Emirates passenger.

There were also numerous responses left under the user's post on LinkedIn with a famous one being a query about the man's carbon footprints.

"But have you considered carbon offsetting in a real way through socially responsible reforestation and support of local communities," the user asked.

The British man said he does not "buy into the carbon or climate scam political ideology".'

The first class on Dubai-headquartered Emirates is amongst the most luxurious flying experiences in the world. There are features such as private cabin, onboard shower spa, gourmet dining, and a lounge bar to enjoy those moments in flight.
