• Two passengers traveling together on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Miami on Oct. 30 were removed before taking off after one of the women attempted to sneak from coach into first class and hide in the footwell of her friend's seat, Fox News reported.
The flight had already been delayed because of a catering issue, according to a witness, who said, "Apparently the plan was for this woman's friend to remain there the entire flight ... (as a stunt to) drive viewers to their YouTube channel."
Flight attendants discovered the plot when they noticed an empty seat in coach, and the plane returned to the gate so the friends could be removed.
The witness reported an unrelated passenger was also removed after he "cussed out" a flight attendant over the delay. [Fox News, 11/2/2020]
