"So I sit down, I go, oh great, okay, let's look out the window,' King said in her video, shared with her 1.1 million followers. Oh, hm. There is no window. King, famously Oprah Winfrey's best friend, then complained that she knew her eight-hour flight from Maui, Hawaii to New York was gonna be a long ride after taking her seat and finding out she didn't have a window, from which she could look out and watch the passing Earth below."
"It appears that King has since deleted the video, presumably after negative comments poured it. Instagram said the link to the video may have been broken, or the profile may have been removed. Boohoo Gayle. Flying business class is so challenging, someone commented with a crying emoji, the Daily Beast reported. Another person wrote: Gayle. There are times we just Let Go' and thank God for our blessings."
Gayle King posted an Instagram video showing that her first-class seat on a United Airlines flight from Maui to Newark lacked a personal window. She remarked that she likes the window seat, noted the passenger ahead had a window with the shade closed, and said, "United and I have very different ideas about a window." King deleted or removed the post after negative responses. Commenters criticized the complaint as tone-deaf and invoked privilege, with some mocking "Boohoo Gayle" and others urging gratitude. Visible ticket information indicated first- or business-class fares for the route can cost $2,500–$5,000 round-trip, while economy can start near $420.
