Vogue editor flees first class over ‘cabin full of white men’

A former editor at Vogue stormed out of a first-class cabin on an American Airlines flight because all of the other passengers were “white, middle-aged men”.

Gabriella Karefa-Johnson “downgraded” herself to business class on the flight from the US to Milan, in part because of the way she felt she was being treated by a member of the cabin crew.

“I just downgraded myself from first class to business class on my flight to Milan. In a cabin of 6, 5 of the passengers were white middle-aged men,” she wrote on Threads, the social media site.
