My plane seat’s window shade was broken — I was told to tape up my own

nypost.com:

Ally Shapiro — the daughter of “The Real Housewives of New York City” alum Jill Zarin — claims in a now-viral TikTok that a Delta Airlines flight attendant offered her random materials to makeshift her own window shade after hers broke.The video showed Shapiro, who was flying from Nimes, France, to New York, finagling a Delta safety booklet against the plane window and taping it down to ensure she could get some shut-eye on the long trip home. “When you pay for an extremely expensive international flight thats 8 hours long you would think a window shade would be included…they offered me tape and safety books (ironically) so i could tape it myself,” Shapiro, 32, captioned a TikTok posted earlier this month.The clip of the Jill & Ally business owner has soared with over 4.3 million views. “I used to be a very loyal Delta customer, but this was just insane,” she continued in the caption.The Post contacted Delta and Shapiro for comment.

In a series of follow-up videos, Shapiro reported the ticket cost around $2,000 and explained that the window was not tinted.It already had tape on it because there was no window shade, she claimed.She also said the first flight attendant was “very rude and very dismissive,” but that a “much more friendly” steward eventually gave her some tape and booklets to make a DIY-nightshade. “As someone that already has so much anxiety when I fly, this was a really sucky situation for me, and I wish they could have handled it better, or at least offered us a different seat, because I could not fly like this,” she said.

The content creator added that, “They made us remove [the booklet] before landing because management would be upset… shouldn’t they be upset for having a broken window and not letting us.
