And I was tempted to say;

"If that was a criteria why didn't ask before you paid for the flight from the uk you stupid g*t and have wasted both your and my time and money."

Your approach might have felt better though.

I think I might have been tempted to reply:

"And you have fewer teeth than I expected"
