The internet is telling actor John Barrowman to check his privilege after posting an online rant about his experience on an American Airlines flight.

In the now-deleted clip, the Scottish-American actor complained about the "shady" service he and his family received on a flight from Los Angeles to London.
American Airlines Didn't Give the Actor Pajamas
If you've traveled abroad recently, then you know that international flights are not cheap. Apparently, Barrowman didn't consider that before he posted his tirade against American Airlines.
Among his laundry list of complaints was a lack of pajamas. Typically, business class passengers receive a complimentary set on long flights. The post's caption labeled the service "bad" and "shady."
"Hi American [Airlines], we have paid for the flagship service," the Doctor Who actor began. He also pointed out that his father and husband were with him.
"My father and my husband are behind, and the tickets were very expensive, and we get on thinking we'd get pajamas with the flagship service," he continued. "Then you apparently only give them to the first two rows in business class. What's that all about? So far you're not batting very high."
John Barrowman Claims the Crew Also Got His Food Order Wrong
And if a lack of pajamas was not enough for the 59-year-old actor, the American Airlines crew also got his food order incorrect.
He said, "Meal order wrong and then told we don't have exactly what everyone else is getting on the flight when we all have flagship service. Can you explain? Thank you."
The internet chimed in, with some supporting the actor and saying he should "expect the service [he] paid for."
Added another, "I'm in no way a fan of John Barrowman, but how do people have an issue with him asking for something he's paid for?"
Others labeled him a "diva." One wrote that his "entitlement is off the scale."
Another added, "Stop moaning about a pair of pyjamas, if you paid business class you can afford a pair yourself!"
One user sarcastically wrote, "Our thoughts are with John Barrowman at this difficult time."
Here's hoping American Airlines rectifies Barrowman's complaint soon. We'd hate to see what he does for an encore.
