The days of smoking on planes are long gone. However, a passenger on a US flight did not comply and was even taken away.
In one report, a passenger shares his unique experience on a United Airlines (UA) flight from Seattle to Chicago. This flight, as he describes in his post on Reddit, was anything but normal.
The strange event began when a woman frantically came on board shortly before departure. She seemed stressed, confused and looked for her seat. When she found her seat in the 28th row, the situation calmed down for the time being. But things escalated as the flight progressed.
According to the report, the woman lit a cigarette mid-flight. This behavior not only poses a high risk, but also violates the law. “I never thought I’d have to say this, but don’t smoke cigarettes on a plane,” the flight attendant said over the intercom. A distinct smell of cigarette smoke spread throughout the cabin.
The woman was then informed that if she didn’t stop, she would end up on the No Fly List. “The police will be waiting for you when we land,” the staff reportedly told her.
The smoking woman reacted aggressively to this. Nevertheless, they managed to put out the cigarette. Upon arrival in Chicago, passengers were asked to remain in their seats to allow police access to the woman smoking. Four police officers came on board and took the woman into custody.
This incident on the United Airlines flight is a first for the man who says he has traveled over two million miles with the airline over the past decade. He has never experienced anything like this.
Just recently, another man was also thrown out of the plane. A Brit behaved so badly while drunk that he was thrown out and had to pay a €19,000 fine.
A man orders a pizza to take away in Rimsting in Bavaria, but wants to eat it in the pizzeria. The innkeeper asks him to leave. What happens next is incredible.
