The US aviation authority has clocked 3,889 reports of disruptive passengers in the past year, more than 20 times the number recorded prior to the pandemic.

It seems staff at this particular airline have once again allowed their affection for duct tape to get the better of them.

We know that reclining your seat during a flight is contentious at the best of times, but these passengers have taken the debate to a whole new level.

The airline was the first to pull the plug on flights to Australia after the government halved the cap on inbound arrivals.

This social media personality claims she was kicked off a flight because her outfit would “disturb other families”. 

We reckon all flight attendants who work in the US deserve a medal, or at least free self-defence classes. Maybe some tasers, too.

A TikTok user posted footage of a woman restrained to a chair by duct tape after she allegedly bit and spat at cabin crew before trying to open the plane’s front door.

If you thought the increase in stories about unruly passengers of late was just because we find them mildly entertaining, you’re only half right.

According to a viral TikTok video, this flight attendant got jack of passengers after they made a flight delay a “living hell” for cabin crew.

The female passenger allegedly hit a flight attendant repeatedly and tried to lift up her skirt, after accusing another cabin crew member of not picking up her rubbish.

Let this video serve as a gentle reminder that while travel may be limited, unruly passengers are still out there wreaking havoc.

Rumour has it that INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart” could be heard blasting from Qantas’ HQ in Mascot following this news.
