Air travel comes with its own set of rules to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
While most passengers are more than willing to comply, there are occasional incidents that disrupt the experience for everyone onboard.
Whether it’s an argument over hand luggage or refusing to follow safety instructions, such moments often lead to delays and unnecessary drama.
Woman refuses to wear seatbelt & argues with crew
One such incident unfolded recently on a Batik Air flight, where a female passenger’s refusal to wear her seatbelt caused a major disruption.
What began as a simple request from the cabin crew quickly escalated into a heated argument, leaving passengers frustrated and forcing authorities to intervene.
The chaos started when the passenger, believed to be Vietnamese, accused a flight attendant of pointing a finger at her face.
This alleged action prompted her to refuse to comply with the crew’s repeated instructions to fasten her seatbelt.
Despite the passenger’s defiance, the flight attendant stood her ground, emphasizing the importance of safety for everyone onboard.
Stop yelling at me! This is for safety purposes, not just for you but also for your child,” said the crew member firmly.
The escalating argument not only delayed the flight’s takeoff but also left other passengers visibly annoyed.
Authorities called to intervene
As the situation spiralled out of control, the airline decided to involve airport authorities. According to TikTok user Fegie (@fegiegie), who documented the incident, officials boarded the plane to address the matter.
The cabin crew also sought statements from other passengers to provide a clearer account of the events.
In the end, the disruptive passenger was escorted off the flight.
This brought a wave of relief to fellow passengers, who cheered as the matter was resolved. However, the delay persisted as her luggage had to be removed from the plane.
“Finally, she got off, escorted by airport police. But we still had to wait because she needed her bags 😫,” wrote Fegie in her post.
‘It’s not like they’re asking you to jump out of the plane’
The incident didn’t just end there—it sparked a lively discussion online. Many TikTok users expressed their frustration at the passenger’s behaviour, criticising her refusal to follow basic safety protocols.
“Just wear the seatbelt; it’s not like they’re asking you to jump out of the plane,” one user commented.
Amid the criticism, the cabin crew received widespread praise for their professionalism and composure throughout the ordeal.
“Kudos to the staff for handling this situation so well,” wrote another commenter.
