Russell Crowe Slams Virgin Australia After Refusing to Let Him Check His Hoverboard as Luggage
Russell Crowe was not pleased with Virgin Australia Airline after not allowing his son’s hoverboard to be checked as luggage.
“Ridiculous @VirginAustralia. No Segway boards as luggage? Too late to tell us at airport.Kids and I offloaded. Goodbye Virgin. Never again,” the 51-year-old actor tweeted from the airport.
“.@VirginAustralia I’m awaiting your reply, where is your duty of responsibility in this? Why not tell me when I am booking my ticket?” Russell added later. He then replied to a fan who ticked him off!
