An airline employee may have caused a passenger to miss their flight and thus their grandfather’s funeral after stopping them because their bag didn’t fit with regulations. “My bag f*cking fits” claims the passenger.
Airline Employee Causes Passenger To Miss Grandfather’s Funeral
A woman was left infuriated after she was refused boarding onto the flight that she was checking in for. She revealed the situation in a series of TikToks where she claimed that stopping her was unjust and perhaps racially motivated.
The first video shows her asking why she can’t board with three employees in the background. One of the employees says that she failed to answer security’s questions.
The TikToker then says that she was only asked one and was happy to respond to any other questions they have. The employee however repeats her statement and refuses to further engage in the conversation.

The employee then says she needs to see the woman’s boarding pass.
“But you already saw my boarding pass. This is the third time, so what other question do you need to answer?”, responds the TikToker.
The employee then says that she will call a supervisor to handle the situation to which she asks why a supervisor is necessary for this situation.
This is when the passenger turns to the camera and provides context saying that the emplooyees claimed her bag wouldn’t fit in the carry-on.
“They said my bag didn’t fit into this damn carry-on check, and my bag fucking fits,”
She then places her bag into the measurement device to show that it does. At this point, the supervisor arrives to address the situation.
In this second video, she explains to the supervisor that she had proven that her bag fits but had not complied with the luggage check that the employe wanted to carry out.
This is when the employee notifies her that she will not be allowed on the plane. She asks what she could do to be let on and complied to the search as well.
The supervisor then asks her lower her voice to which she responds, “Excuse me, do not tell me how to react, and don’t control my voice,”
The supervisor says, “Based on the way you’re reacting to me right now, I wouldn’t let you board,”
As the conversation continues, the supervisor says that he will work on getting her another flight so she can make her destination.

At this point the supervisor turns the bag over so that it no longer fits.
The employee repeats that the woman had refused to answer the security questions. “No, no, no, no, no,” she replies. “Don’t lie on me, ma’am.”
In a following video she says that she had then refused the ticket transfer and wanted a refund instead which she was not eligible for.
“Okay, okay, so now they want to hold up my money. They said it’ll return to my card in seven to ten days, and then they said let’s call the police.”
@jazyrich PART 6... Excuse my language y’all but she called on Jesus 😭😭😭

She then moves to the waiting area to book another flight and waits for the police to arrive. An officer then arrives and offers to help her find another flight which she declined.
@jazyrich PART 7 ... This is when the cop comes...

The officer then says that in that case, the woman will have to leave the waiting area since the area was for passengers and ‘sterile’ due to covid regulations. He then discusses the issue before revealing that she was probably banned from the airline. He confirms the news in a follow-up video.

The employee reiterates that since she is no longer a customer or passenger, she will have to leave the area and asks the officer to escort her off the area.

People were confused about the specifics of the situation as some of the videos had comments disabled. While some agreed that she had been treated unfairly, others said that she was in the wrong and did not comply with their rules.
She addressed these comments in separate videos providing her reasoning behind her actions.
