Fans have called out Brittany Hockley after she slammed Etihad Airways for charging her $1,000 for extra baggage on a flight from Sydney on Friday.
The former Bachelor star, 32, complained about being slapped with an additional fee for her second bag, and was further outraged when she was denied a complimentary upgrade to first or business class.
Everyday Aussies have since slammed Brittany on Facebook, with one saying: 'Let me see. Entitled? Just like footballers, tennis players, cricketers that seem to be able to travel when others can't.'

'First class is expensive, you don't just get upgraded because it's empty. Poor thing, they didn't know she is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame,' a second user wrote.
'You booked cattle class, why should the airline upgrade you, you are NOBODY,' a third agreed.
'Now for some reason the words "entitled little flog" have flown into my mind but I have no idea why,' commented another.

However, some fans disagreed and said '$1,000 was excessive' for an additional bag.

'$1,000 is ridiculous. Totally not fair,' another added.
'How ridiculous. $1,000 for a bag, no one else on the flight and they wouldn't even give her an upgrade. Pathetic,' a third agreed.
One fan said they worked in the travel business and could confirm the extra charge was unfair.
They said: 'She's not entitled - as someone who works in aviation, I totally agree with her. They weren't transparent about the costs to begin with and considering that [$1,000] is the cost to upgrade... it's really poor form on the airline's part.'
