You can’t smoke on a plane. You can’t vape, either. Sometimes passengers sneak a drag in the lavatory – but disabling lavatory smoke detectors can cost you a fine up to $2,000.
Occasionally passengers just flat out smoke out in the open. One Delta Air Lines passenger decided to vape on the jet bridge prior to boarding. That’s not allowed, either. Do you think someone this brazen abstained for the rest of the flight?
Shayla Monnier, an online influencer-nurse and influencer, went viral recounting a flight from Atlanta to Denver where a young girl on the plane repeatedly blew raspberries at her and her husband. Parents tried to control the child, but the girl continued spitting. Shayla’s husband warned the parents to manage the child – or he’d step in, “If you don’t get your kid under control, I’ll do it for you.”
Dr. Oz jumped into action on a JetBlue flight from New York JFK to Los Cabos responding to a passenger’s medical emergency on Friday.
He was enroute to a wedding, and flight attendants called for anyone with medical training to assist.
A man seated in the row in front of him tried calling over a flight attendant, but no one responded so he eventually got up and went to the galley to let a crewmember know what was going on.
She promised “to alert the crew lead” but nothing was done, and the man continued “on and off for a few hours” and I don’t know whether that’s genuinely frightening or awe-inspiring?
Two passengers at Seoul’s Incheon Airport have gone viral on Korean social media for playing tennis in the entrance to the terminal on Wednesday. They can be seen hitting a tennis ball back and forth to each other.
A Vietnamese woman stripped naked at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 in Manila on Saturday after a dispute with immigration officers over a visa fine.
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?
