Footage shows her hurling her jumper to the floor, clenching her fists and screeching at cops at the Norse Atlantic Airways desk as fellow passengers watched in shock.
Erianne, a fellow passenger and model from Paris, said: "It was quite an intense reaction."
Chaos kicked off on July 3 after passengers on flight N0301 from Charles de Gaulle to JFK were informed via email — just before midnight — that their flight had been cancelled due to technical issues.
'She was in a panic,' said Erianne.
'She said she was diabetic and needed her medication.
'But I don't think she should have used such strong language.
'Especially because the people on the desk aren't responsible.'
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner never took off, and no hotel was offered to those stranded.
As tensions soared, airline staff reportedly told passengers they would need to cancel their own bookings and find new flights or hotels themselves - sending many scrambling in the middle of the night.
'The prices were ridiculous,' said Erianne, who ended up shelling out £952 ($1,285) to get home with another airline.
Plane passenger tells traveler 'his laptop is a bomb' sparking mid-air chaos on packed jet
She added: "They told us that we have to cancel this one on our own, then rebook another ticket from another airline, but the prices were ridiculous.
"After that, the people who couldn't afford another flight were trying to find a hotel to sleep in.
"But because this happened during the night, that's not the easiest thing to do.
"Some of them slept at the airport with their kids, including this woman.
'I still haven't gotten a refund from my original flight, but I am emailing with them.'
Norse Atlantic's next flight was also cancelled on July 4, and a third was delayed more than two hours the following day, according to flight tracking data.
Some families were left to sleep on the airport floor with their children.

It comes after a passenger allegedly claimed his laptop was a bomb as chaos unfolded mid-air.
Taj Taylor, 27, is accused of making the alarming comment less than an hour into an Allegiant Air flight from St. Pete-Clearwater Airport in Florida to Roanoke, Virginia, on Sunday.
According to an arrest report from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Taylor, seated in the last row, allegedly told another traveler that his laptop was an explosive — prompting the shocked passenger to snatch it away.
Six people on the Airbus A320, which was carrying 177 passengers and six crew members, reportedly heard the remark.
The pilot turned the plane around, landing back in Florida just 40 minutes after takeoff—well short of the typical two-hour flight to Roanoke. Law enforcement met the plane on the tarmac and arrested Taylor on the spot.
A full search of his belongings revealed no explosives.
Taylor, when questioned by authorities, claimed he had experienced a 'lack of clarity,' according to an FBI report seen by USA Today.
He strongly denied making any bomb threats.
Taylor appeared in court on Monday, facing charges of conveying false information and threats.
If convicted, he could face a fine of up to $25,000 and a prison term of up to five years.

Chaos erupts after Qantas passengers were left stranded in a Thai airport
Qantas passengers were forced to choose between handing over their passports or sleeping at a Thai airport after their flight was cancelled at the eleventh hour. The service from Bangkok International Airport to Sydney was initially delayed for six hours before it was eventually cancelled late on Monday night. Several passengers shared footage from inside the terminal showing a cardboard box full of Australian passports on the ground. Airport staff appeared to be filling out documentation, also on the ground, as dozens of confused passengers crowded around them. Travellers were also asked to hand over their passports before they left the airport and travelled to hotel accommodation. A Qantas spokeswoman said airlines are required to hold passengers' passports during significant delays in line with Bangkok Immigration regulations. It's understood travellers were asked to surrender their passports to officials in order to exit the airport and transfer to their accommodation. Asking passengers to hand over their passports is not a Qantas policy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ramya | American Expat | Life in AUS 🐳 (@ramyatheaussie) Dozens of viewers expressed their shock at the passport policy. 'Is this normal to take away your passports? Never heard of anything like that! What was their reasoning??!' one wrote. 'They would have to cut my arm to take my passport,' another said. 'I wouldn't have let them take my passport, that's not standard practice for flight cancellations,' a third agreed. A Qantas spokeswoman apologised to customers for the delay. 'We sincerely apologise to customers for the disruption and understand the inconvenience this would have caused to their travel plans,' she said. 'Our teams worked hard to get passengers on their way as quickly as possible and all passengers have now arrived in Sydney.'

The huge problem with Australia's so-called First Nations Ambassador - and it's not just the massive travel bill that's raising eyebrows
By any reasonable measure, the numbers are absurd. Australia's so-called First Nations Ambassador, Justin Mohamed, has seemingly managed to spend more time airborne than in any substantive engagement likely to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians. In just two years, Mohamed has clocked up 261 travel days (an entire working year) at a cost of more than $730,000 to taxpayers. Add to that a contract worth just shy of $1million over two and a half years, and the obvious question arises: what exactly has he achieved? This isn't some isolated administrative extravagance, by the way. It's emblematic of the broader drift and performative politics that characterise the Albanese government. And they claim they want to cut spending and fix the budget! We've seen this movie before. Airbus Albo, as the Opposition dubbed him, doesn't mind taxpayer-funded travel perks, not least his well-documented preference for Qantas upgrades and photo ops abroad. So it's hardly surprising that a pet foreign policy project dressed up as First Nations engagement would follow the same globe-trotting script. But here's the problem: while Mohamed racks up hotel points and business-class miles to destinations like New York, Geneva, Paris, Dubai and Hawaii, the supposed mission to 'implement a First Nations approach to foreign policy' remains nebulous at best. Even within DFAT, the exact objectives and outcomes of the role appear to shift depending on the press release spinning a defence. First it was about supporting the Voice, until the Voice referendum failed. Then it was about regional engagement and economic diplomacy. Now, it's part of some vague effort to counter China 's influence in the Pacific. If it all sounds like policy on the run, that's because it is. And you're paying for it. Of his 46 taxpayer-funded trips, just five were to Pacific Islands. In contrast, Mohamed spent more than twice as long in the United States alone. That's not regional engagement, it's tourism with talking points. When Daily Mail Australia previously revealed that a single two-week trip to Kansas City and Washington DC cost taxpayers over $75,000, it raised eyebrows. But even that wasn't the whole picture. FOI documents showed his team has burned through nearly $400,000 on travel, separate from his own expenses. And yet there's still no public explanation (let alone evidence) of what measurable benefit this travelling roadshow has delivered for the Indigenous communities the ambassador is supposed to represent. This matters not just because the waste is galling, but because this kind of performative diplomacy erodes public confidence in the very causes it purports to champion. If you wanted to design a role that fuels scepticism about reconciliation, appoint a taxpayer-funded roving ambassador to attend international conferences with no clear mandate, no KPIs and no link to tangible outcomes for those suffering entrenched disadvantage back home. If this were a corporate role, it would be axed in the next round of budget cuts. Instead, it's being defended by the government with the often hollow rhetoric of diversity, inclusion and soft power, as though those buzzwords justify burning through public funds with no accountability. The truth is you can't close the gap from business class, and symbolic diplomacy, no matter how well-intentioned or well-funded doesn't help when it's divorced from practical policy. If the Albanese government can't see that this is wrong, they're not listening. And if the Coalition has any sense, they'll stick to their pre-election pledge to abolish this role on day one of returning to office. But God only knows how far off into the distance that day might be. The real work of reconciliation will remain stuck on the tarmac until this bloke gets the boot.
