A family flying on United Airlines from Geneva to Newark had their seats scattered when flight 957 swapped Boeing 767 aircraft to one with a different configuration. The two parents, their four year old and their 18-month old were no longer all together in a row like they’d booked.
A Delta Air Lines flight passenger spraying cleaning disinfectant all over her seat and the surrounding area as soon as she boarded. “She then pulled out a spray bottle of Lysol.”
An 81-year-old grandmother from the Bronx flew to Puerto Rico on Frontier Airlines with her emotional support animal. It’s an African Grey parrot (not a Norwegian Blue) and its name is Plucky. However, the airline refused to allow her to fly home with it.
Crew members provided towels and apparently even a change of clothes to the man. Another passenger demanded the perp get sent to coach – and he was relegated to economy for landing.
Ryanair passenger Ann-Marie Murray found herself escorted off of a flight by police after trying to purchase Pringles onboard using her Barclays credit card.
The airline’s payment system failed on a flight from Tenerife, Spain to Bristol, U.K. on March 28. She’d already eaten the snacks, also including water and a soda. She couldn’t cover the £7 (US$9) bill, and the airline repeatedly couldn’t get her card to go through. So they called the police.
A Singapore Airlines business class passenger has been sentenced to three weeks in jail for flashing a flight attendant. The man, who had consumed two glasses of champagne prior to the incident, fails to live up to his name: Brilliant Angjaya.
A topless female passenger in white underpants at the Fort Lauderdale airport pranced around gate G12. She had removed her clothing – though not her black shoes – and she appears to be in an argument with a male travel companion who tries to give her back her outfit. A police officer gives her back her top, and she puts it on. G12 is a Spirit Airlines gate.
A passenger was filmed seated in economy, seat belted into his middle seat, just urinating while aiming at the safety briefing card in the seat pocket in front of him. It appears that the window seat beside him is empty. The man can be seen looking around somewhat furtively.
A naked woman ran through Dallas – Fort Worth airport’s terminal D. She yelled at no one in particular, and made rather strange claims like “I speak all languages.” She tosses a beverage. Then she attacked the monitor and boarding door of gate D4. Here’s the full 2 minute 16 second video.
Here’s a woman that didn’t get the memo. She brought her pet in cabin, brought the carrier, but the dog is walking around at the gate because the carrier isn’t large enough. An employee calls her out for this, and lets her know that if she doesn’t have a carrier that the dog will fit into, then they can’t fly. So the woman tries to prove that the dog fits.
