A first class passenger on American Airlines flight 1774 from Dallas to Charlotte was duct taped into her seat and gagged after attacking flight attendants and trying to open an aircraft door during the flight. This happened three years ago. The FAA is just now suing the passenger.
Travel social media was taken over by the ‘pillow case trick’ for bringing more stuff onto a plane than you’re technically allowed. For one passenger, using this trick meant he missed his flight – and could have been banned by the airline.
Rapper Sexyy Red and her entourage engaged in a brawl at Newark airport on Saturday, and she was arrested. Red was named a breakout artist of last summer by Billboard on the heels of her single “Pound Town” (with Tay Keith) and “Pound Town 2” (with Nicki Minaj).
Security footage shows a group of men tussling before the rapper enters the frame, brandishing a metal pole. But before she could use it, another individual intervened, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
That’s two separate restrictions: number of pieces and size. But as long as the bag will fit in the sizer, if you link them all together are several different bags really one? What is a “bag” or “item” anyway? And when does one bag become two or three?
A woman being dubbed “Southwest Airlines Karen” had a meltdown during boarding of a Southwest Airlines flight. A passenger wearing a MAGA hat boarded the flight and she was triggered. The Man In The Donald Trump Hat began to film her, and she shouts “Somebody call security!” after demanding that he put his phone down.
He’s bringing politics into a metal tube that’s about to be sealed, trapping everyone – from different backgrounds and beliefs – inside. This can only serve to provoke. In fact, the reason for wearing the shirt is to provoke.
A passenger stormed Delta Air Lines gate D7 at the Atlanta airport, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and came out spraying. According to a witness, the woman dined and dashed from Buffalo Wild Wings. When she was asked to pay she unleashed herself on the rest of the terminal.
Passengers taking up the space behind them, covering up entertainment screens and tray tables, is sadly more common than you’d think. People just do not pay attention to the way they’re affecting neighboring passengers around them inside a metal tube. We all create a bubble of privacy, pretending like we’re alone. But that only works if we let others pretend they’re alone, too.
An American Airlines passenger took to TikTok to complain that, due to turbulence, there was no drink service on her flight in coach – while first class received service throughout the flight.
A woman shared the drama that unfolded on her recent flight after she and her boyfriend broke up. They were on vacation with his toddler earlier in the month, she watched the child for most of the trip while the boyfriend “had the time of his life” and it came out that he was… “still seeing his ex.”
They still had to travel home together! They were even seated together. Awkward, until a passenger sitting up front didn’t show up and an employee came back to upgrade her.
