Nicki Minaj was arrested at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on Saturday enroute to the next stop in her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, apparently for weed.
Police told her that they could process her quickly enough so that she wouldn’t miss her Saturday night performance in Manchester. Her defense appears to be people I pay a lot of money to are going to take the rap for me.
A Ryanair passenger at Palma de Mallorca Airport was caught on video ripping the wheels off his carry-on bag to make it fit in the airline’s sizer and avoid fees, while fellow travelers applauded his sticking it to the man.
As the man named Daniel prepared to board his flight to Malaga, Spain he was told that his red suitcase exceeded the airline’s carry-on size limits. To bring it onboard, he would have to pay an additional US$76. He thought that was unreasonable – so he took matters into his own hands.
Basically, 99.9% of passengers accept the deal of assisting in an emergency in exchange for sitting in an exit row – or pretend to. And then there’s this woman flying Frontier from Charlotte…
She’s asked if she’ll assist in an emergency – and her reaction was oh heck no.
A baby panda being sent from China to Japan was spotted in a passenger seat, instead of flying cargo. Seated beside its caregiver, it’s actually wearing a seat belt and diaper and is munching bamboo leaves as an inflight snack.
An American Airlines passenger “waited in the bathroom so he could get off first.” When the flight arrived at Dallas – Fort Worth, the man got up and came forward, entering the lavatory as though he ‘had to go’. And he waited there, rather than returning to his seat, so that he’d be the first passenger off of the aircraft.
A Southwest passenger complained on social media about four young girls and their parents pre-boarding their flight despite “not need[ing] assistance or extra time” and Southwest responded that “many disabilities aren’t visible” so they are “unable to question preboarding requests.”
We regret any frustration, Stephanie. As many disabilities aren't visible, we're unable to question preboarding requests. -Brytani

Here are the ‘disabled’ passengers in question that the airline was responding to.
A Delta Air Lines first class passenger can’t decide to watch on the carrier’s seat back entertainment system, so they keep flipping through the channeles. With. Their Feet.
Sitting in the first class bulkhead, they have one bare foot propped up against the bulkhead wall, and the other foot moves between the wall and swiping left with their toes.
A passenger flying United Airlines from San Francisco to Newark watched a woman in coach use what they say is fake military status to get free food.
A first class passenger was passed out in his seat, with his legs propped up againts the cabin wall beside him. He wasn’t wearing shoes, and his feet were right above the head of the woman seated in the window seat directly in front of him. She and her seatmate spring into action – with toe nail polish. The man doesn’t wake up.
