A mum and daughter were allegedly kicked off a flight after "screaming and yelling" at other passengers to give up their seats. In a video shared to TikTok by @official_norcal_mom, the pair can be seen boarding a Southwest Airlines flight for an airport in Sacramento, California.
After realising that there are no aisle seats left, they start shouting at other customers to give up their seats on the packed plane, the Mirror reports. Originally posted back in 2021, the clip has gone viral yet again, garnering over one million views on the social media platform.
Referring to the duo, the caption reads: "They thought everyone should move, so they could have an aisle seat. The flight attendant politely asked them that they could not ask a full plane of people to move seats. (It's first come first served.)"
In the video, a crew member is seen talking to them and could be heard saying: "We have families. We have little kids.
"We can’t have people yelling. You are screaming and yelling."
The daughter can then be heard on the video saying, "We'll just go sit down" while sarcastically saying that her mother is "just gonna grab onto you and cry and scream on the plane". When another flight attendant asks to put them on another plane, the pair walk past them to look for aisle seats.
At this point, the flight had allegedly been delayed for two hours, and passengers were forced to wait even longer for airport staff to remove the mum and daughter. The woman who posted the video onto TikTok added: "The flight attendant felt like the passengers weren't safe with that behaviour.
"The whole plane applauded when they were removed."
Southwest Airlines has a "pick a seat" system where they don't assign seats to any passengers but they are put into different "boarding groups" based on the time they checked in on a first-come-first-served basis.
