A Jewish Rabbi was denied boarding for a Kenya Airways flight from Johannesburg to Nairobi. He’s told it’s because he appeared visibly Jewish. The rest of his travel party is permitted to travel: “You can travel, he can travel, he can travel.”
When asked if it’s because of how the rabbi looks? “That’s it, it’s not good.”
At lower doses, some studies suggest medical benefits – for treating neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatric conditions, and as an “anti-aging” protocol – but those are largely ‘pre-clinical’ to put it generously. In higher doses, methylene blue can be neurotoxic and may interfere with mitochondrial function.
The incident began about 20 minutes into Flight 4856, as he tried to engage the woman seated in the row in front of him. She wasn’t interested, and punched the seat and the plane’s window beside him. As he banged on the window he yelled in several language.
Cracks could be seen – along with his blood – on the window. Several men onboard subdued him using makeshift restraints fashioned from shoestrings, belts, and headphones.
A United Airlines elite 1K passenger flying from Orlando to Washington Dulles reports how they were tricked into giving up their extra legroom window seat for a middle.
A passenger flying United Airlines from Charleston, South Carolina to Newark on Tuesday reported that a first class passenger “in his mid to late 50s” had tossed back “six to eight” gin and tonics and “he kept handing the flight attendant a $5 every time he brought him another one.”
A 69-year-old Australian woman was forcibly restrained by flight attendants on Fiji Airways flight 871 from San Francisco to Nadi, Fiji after becoming abusive inflight.
About six hours into the 11-hour trip on January 18, she began screaming, throwing cups, and slapping a flight attendant.
The image shows what appears to be a passenger’s hand from the row in front of them. The hand is reaching back through the space between the window and the seat, resting or clawing at the leg of the person seated behind them.
A Spirit Airlines passenger was kicked off of a Los Angeles to San Antonio flight because of an offensive hoodie. And I guess this is newsworthy because, until now, we didn’t know that clothing could fail to meet the minimum standards necessary to fly Spirit Airlines.
An American Airlines business class passenger from Los Angeles to London Heathrow on Saturday was not happy about her seat. Flight 134 is on a four-cabin aircraft with first class, and she was “complaining she’s in [business class] instead of first class” according to a nearby passenger, and was “demanding the person who booked her be fired.”
A reader on Delta Air lines flight 800 from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles on Sunday had a front row seat to a large dalmatian experiencing bowel issues throughout the six hour journey. Passengers in the area around the dalmatian were told they would receive 4,000 SkyMiles for the inconvenience.
