8 Passengers Kicked of Flights for Silly Reasons
Keeping control of a busy flight can be a tiring and thankless job for air stewardesses, one of the most unappreciated jobs around the world.
While there is no doubt that some out-of-control fliers should be removed from their flights for the safety and comfort of other passengers, in some cases air stewardesses (and even pilots!) don’t always make rational decisions. In this article, 8 travellers were kicked off their respective flights for the most nonsensical reasons- such as being too tall. No one wants to be the person who lands in the seas next to a baby, either, but most of us would tolerate the annoyance rather than kick mother and child from the flight.
