Harry Potter star's furious rant as airline bump him from first class to economy

A Harry Potter actor has hit out at an airline after he was bumped out of first class and forced to sit in economy.

Matthew Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom in the films, shared his frustration with fans on social media last week after he chose to travel with Air Canada. Claiming that his first class ticket was torn up at the gate in Orlando Airport, the 33-year-old said he was given 'no explanation' as to why he couldn't have the seat he paid for.

Forced to sit in economy, Matthew said: "Confirmed. @AirCanada is the worst airline in North America. And that’s saying something." Quickly sparking reaction with his followers, the Mirror reports that the tweet has nearly received 4,000 likes and been retweeted 434 times, with others sharing their own grievances about the airline.
