Allison Langdon finally broke her silence on Friday after a TikTok user accused the veteran presenter of receiving special treatment on a Qantas flight to Fiji.
The 45-year-old A Current Affair presenter appeared on KIIS FM’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show, where co-host Kyle Sandilands, 53, joked that her hair looked unkempt in paparazzi photos.
“What you need to do is take your hairdresser on vacation. I’ve noticed they always take you on vacation and you don’t look newsworthy at all,” Kyle told her.
Ally responded by joking that she didn’t have to put so much effort into looking good when she was on vacation instead of presenting. Kyle asked her if she would give a tour of the luxury “superyachts” while she was on vacation.
“No. Didn’t you hear? I’m flying economy class to Fiji!” Ally replied emphatically.
Ally’s hilarious comments follow a TikTok user’s wild rant last month, in which he accused Qantas staff of giving Ally and her family special treatment on a flight to Fiji during the school holidays.
Fellow Qantas passenger Courtney ranted: ‘There was a celebrity from 60 Minutes on the plane, I think her name is Allison. She didn’t get a first class seat, she got an economy seat.’
‘We flew Qantas. They turned people away when they asked for wine and that’s fine. I didn’t ask but I heard a lot of people were turned away.

‘But then they offered her wine and handed it out in front of everyone. So the people who didn’t get alcohol had to sit and watch this famous lady get served alcohol, even though they bought the same ticket for the same price.
“The staff treated her better than anyone else. It’s just not fair. Why are these famous people being treated better in front of you, when you both paid the same amount?
“If you give someone special treatment just because you think they’re famous, I think that’s wrong. I don’t understand what’s happening to service these days.”
The 45-year-old A Current Affair presenter joked that she is flying economy to Fiji, referring to a TikTok user’s wild rant in which she accused Qantas staff of giving Ally and her family special treatment on a flight to Fiji during the school holidays.
Fellow Qantas passenger Courtney ranted: ‘There was a celebrity from 60 Minutes on the plane, I think her name is Allison. She didn’t get a first class seat, she got an economy seat’
But Courtney’s story about what happened during the flight was quickly debunked.
In photos obtained by Ny Breaking Australia, Allison was photographed with her husband Michael Willesee Jr. and their children at the Qantas business class check-in desk before flying overseas for the school holidays.
They were also escorted to the gate by Qantas ground staff, a service normally only provided to business class or first class passengers. If she had been in business class, she would have had to pay for the “special treatment” she received.
A Qantas spokesperson told Ny Breaking Australia: “It is ridiculous to suggest Allison received special treatment.”
