Overweight passenger hauled off plane over ‘f–king selfish' aisle seat demand
What an airhead. An overweight UK tourist was dragged off an airplane in Thailand after he demanded an emergency aisle seat to accommodate his larger frame, as seen in viral footage. 4 Authorities yank the disruptive passenger out of his air chair. ViralPress Advertisement The kerfuffle kicked off when the unnamed hellion claimed he didn't have enough room in his window seat on a Thai Lion Air flight departing from Bangkok on June 25, Viral Press reported. When the airhead asked to be switched to an aisle seat in the emergency exit row — which had more leg room — flight attendants refused, prompting him to throw a tantrum at 30,000 feet. 4 'At first, I thought we couldn't take off because the man had fallen ill,' the traveler who filmed the video recalled. ViralPress Advertisement 'At first, I thought we couldn't take off because the man had fallen ill,' the traveler who filmed the video recalled. 'It turned out he just thought the economy seat was too crowded and insisted on moving to the emergency exit.' Things got so heated that authorities were called to escort the problem passenger off the plane. But unfortunately, that was just the tip of the iceberg. 4 The man (pictured) threw a tantrum after crew members refused to transfer him to an aisle seat in the exit row. ViralPress Advertisement In the wild footage, Thai police are seen yanking the stubborn flyer — who was wearing a bright orange Garfield shirt — out of his seat. However, the traveler then proceeds to lie down and obstruct the aisle in protest, prompting frustrated reactions from his fellow flyers. 'He is so f–king selfish,' accuses one perturbed passenger, while another yells at him to 'get out of the way.' Eventually, police managed to carry the uncooperative fellow off the plane by his arms and legs like a table. Advertisement All told, his outburst delayed the flight by a full hour before the airplane eventually took off. This isn't the first passenger to be escorted off an airplane after they demanded special treatment. 4 Authorities drag the man by his arms. ViralPress In April, a pair of 'disruptive passengers' were ejected from a Viva Aerobus flight in Mexico after barging past crew members and yanking other passengers' luggage out of the overhead. That same month, an unruly passenger forced a Milan-bound plane to return to New York after he bum-rushed the cockpit because, among other complaints, he didn't receive his preferred in-flight meal.
