Haven't you been watching Game of Thrones, British Airways? Don't you know you're not supposed to piss off Arya Stark?
The actress behind the mini mass murderer, Maisie Williams, got into an online tussle with the airline this past weekend when she was denied access to the business class lounge for being underage. Maisie doesn't turn 18 until April 2015, but that didn't stop her from firing shots at British Airways on Twitter:
Denied from the business lounge once again for being under 18 and without an adult.. @British_Airways sort your shit out.

I'm not saying I deserve special treatment..

Just saying if 16-18 yr olds are grown up enough to travel 5,400 miles around the world..

I'm sure we can handle sitting quietly in the damn lounge..

The airline responded quickly to the shade, and while they were apologetic for infuriating the youngest Stark, they didn't back down:
@Maisie_Williams Hi Maisie. We're sorry if you were disappointed, lounge guests must be 18 or older. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

To which Maisie responded FUCK NAH, THIS AIN'T OVER:
Yes.. @British_Airways fully understand that, my question is why? Why can we travel alone but not use the lounge? It makes no sense.

Maisie then took things to the next level by giving props to Virgin Atlantic, which is the UK equivalent to cheersing with Coke at Pepsi's mom's funeral:
“@VirginAtlantic: @PVBuk we can accept customers from 16-18, but obviously the 16 and 17 year olds can't drink” The logical answer.. 👍

Part of me wants to tell Maisie to just chill for seven more months until she's 18 (or go find that Zoltar machine Tom Hanks uses in Big), but the rest of me feels like she deserves to get into any exclusive club she wants. She's Arya Stark for Christ's sake.
