They wanted her to check her flight privilege.

An American Airlines flyer is being ripped online after complaining about her expensive, first-class seat on a flight to Hawaii — which she claimed was absolutely filthy.

“This is what a $5,000, first-class flight to Honolulu gets you on American Airlines,” scoffed the unimpressed passenger, named Andrea, in the clip, which currently boasts nearly 800,000 views on TikTok.

The Post has reached out to American Airlines for comment.

The passenger started off her impromptu video review, captioned “do better @AmericanAirlines,” by panning to some “disgusting” dust over the air vents.

“‘I’m breathing this in for eight and a half hours,” rued Andrea while zooming in on the soot-covered filter.

Exhibit B, per the clip, was the storage compartment beneath her seat, which was festooned with crumbs like the bottom of an empty chip bag.

“I mean, the cleanliness,” the flyer said sarcastically.

She concluded the clip by zooming in on troubling brown stains on her pillow, remarking, “I mean did they wash these?”

“American Airlines at its finest,” Andrea quipped at the end.

While this might sound like small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, the dissatisfied traveler argued in the caption that “cleanliness is important, regardless of how much you pay for a flight.”

Nonetheless, many viewers were less than sympathetic over her so-called first-world, er should we say, first-class problems.

“I don’t know how I’m gonna sleep tonight knowing you had to go through this,” snarked one critic.

Another airplane proletarian mocked, “Thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”

“I’m so sorry. Do you need to go to the hospital?” jabbed a third.

However, others agreed with Andrea on the grounds that people should get what they pay for.

“Yall it’s $5,000… that’s insane. idk why y’all all judging her for not wanting a dirty seat,” said one defender.

“Why are people so rude? If you can’t afford first class, move along,” wrote another. “But when you pay for first class, you expect first class! This is not that.”

“For some people flying first class may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience they saved up for,” argued a third. “You should have a nice, clean seat regardless.”

“As someone who has never flown first class, get your money back,” urged one viewer. “This is worse than economy!”
