They sent them “packing.’
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, as seen in a video taking off online.
“They started insulting the flight attendant and taking other passengers’ bags down to put their own in,” one furious fly-witness told Jam Press of the kerfuffle, which occurred Easter Sunday at Puerto Vallarta International Airport.
The trouble began after the unidentified male and female passenger boarded the packed flight late after everyone else was seated, shoving past flight attendants.
The hellions then attempted to store at least one supersize suitcase in the overhead bin despite purchasing a basic ticket that only permitted them to bring one small personal item each.
When they saw that the storage lockers were full, the miscreants attempted to remove other flyers’ belongings to make room.
At that point, crew members informed them that they’d need to pay extra to place the luggage in the cargo hold, but the pair refused and reportedly became quite rude.
The aforementioned witness claimed they “got angry because the crew wanted to check them in” and “slammed the compartments.”
At that point, the hellraisers were instructed to leave the plane, but they said no.
Left with little recourse, the captain got on the intercom and ordered the two to leave voluntarily or be escorted off by authorities.
“To the disruptive passengers who displayed unacceptable behavior, of your own free will and without delay, please leave the aircraft,” the pilot declared. “If you don’t, the ground crew has been instructed to call the National Guard, and they can take care of you. Remember that you are in a federal zone.”
Accompanying footage shows the passengers cheering as the duo vacate the plane with the man opening and closing several compartments in apparent defiance.
Viva Aerobus has been approached for comment.
