A woman shared her story of flying Southwest Airlines from Montego Bay to Baltimore to Denver where she was refused boarding in Montego Bay, she says, because because the flight was overbooked and they were treating her as a standby passenger.

A passenger complained to a flight attendant about being offended by a woman’s behavior prior to departure from Los Angeles. She was reportedly drunk. But she doesn’t leave the plane quietly.
