Mom And Daughter Booted From Flight After Demanding Passengers Give Up Aisle Seats For Them

Mom And Daughter Booted From Flight After Demanding Passengers Give Up Aisle Seats For Them

A new viral TikTok shows a mom and daughter duo being kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight after loudly demanding their fellow passengers move seats so that they could sit together in adjacent aisle seats.

According to the video's text overlay, the two women were among the very last passengers to board their flight from Sacramento to San Diego, entering the plane just before the plane doors closed after most of the other passengers had already chosen their seats in Southwest's first-come, first-served seating scheme.


After the women attempted to "make an announcement" to the plane, they were escorted off by staff.

See the incident below.

Not only did the women board the plane at the last possible minute, but the incident occurred after the Southwest flight had already been subject to a two-hour delay--surely fraying everyone's patience for the women even more.

In the video, the younger of the two women could be heard trying to make the "announcement" as a flight attendant intervenes.

The attendant told the woman:

"We have families. We have little kids. We can't have people yelling."

The younger woman responded by saying her mother would make a scene.

"She's gonna grab onto you and scream and cry."

Of course, this being an airplane where security is tight and no risks are taken, the flight attendant took that to be some kind of threat.

She warned the women they would have to be escorted off.

"Okay ma'am, if you're going to say things like that, we're going to have to put you on a different jet."

The women were then moved off the plane onto the jetway.

According to @official_norcal_mom's captions, the entire plane applauded when they were removed.

She went on to thank Southwest for the way they handled the incident.

"Thanks Southwest for doing the right thing and getting them off the plane,"

On TikTok, people shared in those sentiments and had no patience for the mother-daughter pair.

Though the flight was delayed a further hour after the women's removal, it eventually took off and safely flew to San Diego.

Trump's Truth Social Platform Has A New AI Tool—And Trump's Not Gonna Like What It Has To Say

President Donald Trump regularly uses his social media platform Truth Social to attack his opponents and lie profusely, but the site's new "Truth Search AI" tool is unlikely to win his favor because it actually—get this—tells the truth about him and his policies.

A test conducted by the center-right news and commentary site The Bulwark found that the tool, which Truth Social debuted shortly after Trump signed an executive order to counter the use of “Woke AI” in the federal government, actually tells the truth about everything from his widely unpopular tariffs to the 2020 election results.

Trump Just Bragged That Everything In The Oval Office Is 'Real Gold'—And Even Laura Ingraham Isn't Buying It

President Donald Trump received a dubious reaction from Fox News personality Laura Ingraham after he touted the Oval Office's gold decor as "real gold" while giving her a tour.

The Oval Office has been significantly revamped since Trump took office in January—it features, among other things, fireplace adorned with gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in ornate gold frames and shelves filled with gilded figurines, urns, and freshly installed Rococo mirrors.

You'd have to be a "chronically online" user of X, aka Twitter, to know just how prolific a tweeter author Joyce Carol Oates is, but to those who are, her takedowns have become legendary.

And recently, the 87-year-old award-winning writer set her sights on the owner of X himself, Elon Musk. And the gazillionaire babyman is FURIOUS about it.

Sydney Sweeney Speaks Out After 'Christy' Biopic Has One Of Worst Box Office Openings Of All Time

Sydney Sweeney can land a punch, but maybe not at the box office. Her latest film, Christy, a biopic about trailblazing boxer Christy Martin, landed a hard blow but barely connected with the audience, opening to a paltry $1.3 million.

That’s not just a loss; it’s a technical knockout in the “worst wide release openings ever” category, according to Box Office Mojo. For films debuting in over 2,000 theaters, Christy ranks at No. 12 overall and No. 9 when excluding rereleases.
