A United Airlines passenger had a flight attendant kicked them out of their seat because another passenger had taken it, and the crewmember felt that woman deserved it more than they did.
When they arrived at their seat, in the second row from the back of the aircraft, they found a woman and two kids seated in the row. They offered, “I have the window seat, does your ticket say you also have my seat?”
The man called a crewmember “a waiter.” The business class passenger, who says he’s a “Guyanese activist,” said that he couldn’t lift heavy objects because of a recent surgery. He asked a flight attendant “help him store his bag in the overhead compartment” but was rebuffed.
The Love & Hip Hop alum actually fought off two men at once as they were descending an escalator. Jones can be seen on video delivering punches to the two, accidentally landing on an older man who then fell to the ground. Another woman rushed to deactivate the escalator, but the fight continued despite attempts by several bystanders to intervene.
People seem to get confused over whether they use the space under the seat in front of them, under their own seat, or both.
The man took the other aisle seat, the dad took the main’s aisle next to the kids. And… another passenger comes on board assigned to the aisle seat he’d moved to. It turns out the dad had the middle seat and lied to the man in order to get him to switch. The dad traded something he did not have in the first place.
Last week a passenger flew American Airlines from Miami to Atlanta. When they boarded flight 2290 on Friday they were told by a flight attendant that someone had urinated in seat 15C on the 12-year old Boeing 737.
A dog roamed around the cabin on Tuesday evening’s American Airlines flight 2308 from Raleigh to Los Angeles. It must have been uncomfortable because it needed to do its business, so the passenger who owned it let it out – until it decided to relieve itself in the aisle.
Venezuelan regional carrier Laser Airlines evacuated a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 from Maracaibo after landing in Caracas on Sunday. Smoke flooded the cabin after the former American Airlines plane’s auxiliary power unit failed, and slides were deployed. All 91 people on board were evacuated.
You should get up as soon as the seat belt sign turns off especially if you’re in the aisle. That doesn’t mean you should shove ahead of other passengers. You should not. But if other passengers are taking their time getting up, and there’s an opening where you won’t block anyone else or slow them down, by all means go ahead of them. That keeps the disembarkation process moving, and gets everyone else off the plane quicker.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams was confronted by a woman boarding an American Airlines flight from Miami to New York on Monday. His Honor was seated in an exit row middle seat, and the woman approached him, first asking whether he was in fact the mayor – and then began to launch into a wide-ranging tirade.
The anti-Israel activist, headed to New York as well, recorded herself lambasting the mayor over a litany of issues.
