A passenger's rant onboard a Spirit Airlines plane is going viral on social media.
Passenger Safira Allen had apparently missed an earlier flight from Atlanta to Las Vegas on May 1. Airline officials said Allen ran down the boarding ramp of another Spirit flight to Vegas and took a seat that wasn't ticketed to her.
When the gate agent tried to remove her from the flight, Allen refused and instead fired up her cellphone to take her story to Facebook Live.
In her video, which has landed millions of views on Facebook, Allen goes on a tirade about the airline's name, among other things.
"Y'all going to use Jesus' name, the Holy Spirit? That's got to change, y'all need to be called something else. Y'all need to change y'all name because nothing Holy Spirit about this airline."
Minutes into the rant, a crew member on the flight is heard telling other passengers that they will have to deplane to redo the boarding process, which prompted a negative response from many onboard.
"If I can't go to Las Vegas, Nevada, neither can y'all!" Allen is heard telling the passengers as they exit.
Atlanta police are eventually seen boarding the plane to remove Allen, who gets her bag and finally leaves her seat, but she keeps her Facebook Live rolling.

Let’s see. If CEO Kevin Johnson of Starbuck’s were running Spirit, all black women could get free seats on flights going anywhere.
Carrying the name of the Lord in vain. Mocking God is not a good thing.
Pucker up baby, yeah!...LOL!
Just saying.
She looks Jewish to me. Maybe thats another angle for her?
I am glad I stopped flying Commercial back in 2000.
Back in the early 90s, prior to the airlines becoming totally worthless, I entered the Albuquerque airport to go home after a meeting. I always used United Airlines as I had to fly to Albuquerque every three weeks or so and United had the fastest connections.
Anyway, I step into the airport and see that every United flight into Denver was listed in red as the Pope was visiting and everybody and their brother was trying to get into Denver. I walked over to the United desk and they kindly got me on an AA flight routed through DFW. It took a little longer than usual but I made it home instead of possibly being stuck in Denver for an extra day.
I think those days of customer service are over.
George and Sapphire Stevens?

I was on a Continental Flight when 3 African Americans boarded and took 3 seats that weren’t assigned to them because they wanted to sit together. They gave the flight attendants a lot of grief when they tried to move them to their assigned seats.
I agree.
I'm with you except I'm only on reason 270. Haven't flown since May, 1996.
ROFL!
In the bathroom.
Explain someone wearing the Star of David ranting about Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that is one fugged up woman!
Some family member probably tried to send her to Vegas because they thought the commercials said, “Who goes to Vegas, stays in Vegas”.....
