Woman kicked off flight over period cramps

A woman has been asked to leave an Emirates flight to Dubai for complaining about period pain.

Excuse us?

According to The Sun, Beth Evans, 24, and her boyfriend Josh Moran, 26, were asked to leave a flight from Birmingham in the UK to Dubai after a flight attendant heard her complaining about menstrual cramps.

Evens described her pain as a “one out of ten” and said she was happy to make the seven-hour flight, but without a doctor on board, the crew decided to remove the couple.

According to Moran, the crew contacted a US-based medical team before telling them to leave.

“The passenger alerted the crew that she was suffering from discomfort and pain and mentioned she was feeling unwell,” said an Emirates spokesperson.

“The captain made the decision to request medical support and offload Evans so she could access medical assistance,”

“We would not have wanted to endanger Evans by delaying medical help had she worsened during the flight”

Moran describes the crew’s actions as madness, “Beth was in tears and getting upset when the hostess was asking her questions,” he said.

“It’s embarrassing to have to explain about period pains when it’s being overheard.”

The couple was forced to spend $440 each to rebook their holiday flights.

Look, I think we can all agree that period pain SUCKS but is it really necessary to kick someone off a flight over it?

Perhaps they should have just given her a box of chocolate and some panadol?
