Two women were pulled off of an American Airlines flight in Miami this weekend, reportedly for sitting themselves down in first class where they didn’t belong. The self-upgraders weren’t going to last long there – there’s a flight manifest, and it’s rare that a first class seat is going to go out empty.
If you try to self-upgrade, act confused and apologetic when called out, and do the walk of shame to your seats in the back of the aircraft things will generally turn out fine. If you insist on sitting where you don’t belong, and make a big entitled deal of it when you’re called out, you’ll receive a VIP escort to your final destination – possibly a holding cell – by airport police.
That appears to be what happened as multiple uniformed officers take these two women out of the gate area. One, in a red outfit, is escorted out relatively calmly. The other, in a gray top and black pants, is on the floor with officers around her at one point, then is brought up and escorted out under control of the officers.
Apparently the women sat in first class, refused to move, and escalated the disturbance. The crew called for airport law enforcement. But it’s not totally clear which flight this was. My best guess is it’s actually American Airlines 1816 from Miami to Phoenix on Friday evening. That’s the only flight over the weekend that was actually delayed, and it ran 1 hour 6 minutes late.
Looking at gate E5 departures, though, other candidates would be:
- AA1901 MIA → PLS (Providenciales): departed 08:30 AM (on time).
- AA3065 MIA → UVF (St. Lucia): departed 09:51 AM (on time).
- AA3098 MIA → SVD (Argyle, St. Vincent): departed 11:16 AM (on time).
- AA313 MIA → SJO (San José, Costa Rica): departed 11:42 AM (about 5 min off schedule).
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Airport Operations Bureau handled this one well, as things didn’t escalate further and delays were not significant regardless of which flight was involved, especially since this was a removal that involved cuffs rather than simply assisting the airline in enforcing a decision not to carry the passengers.
Are they exotic dancers or call girls? Asking for a friend.
These two are idiots. You always bring you own handcuffs so that when you jump into first class you can cuff yourself to the chair. As always, keep your arm closest to the aisle free so you can fight of FA’s and police.
Read through the comments on IG – at least one of them posts and tries to defend their actions.
From the looks of them NOTHING First Class about them in any sense of the word and I bet they STUNK………..like an abandoned Bait Shop Long nails like claws,Big Lips, Eye lashes like brooms on a street sweeper, titties on full display and an ass on them that is desperately in need of some fine tuning,lol. Yea…………they First Class alright. WAFJ!
This world gets sicker by the day.
Hopefully they will be banned from flying AA in the future. Not for sitting in the wrong seats but for causing a needless delay in departure.
Why am I not surprised?
@Michael Mainello – As the saying goes, “Both these things can be true.”
@Denver Refugee – Thanks for the chuckle.
These 2 were looking for clicks and internet fame.
Classy and dressed magnificently

That got methy…
Big tits and no brains, or class.
AA is the new Spirit and Frontier, so they thought they could get away with it.
