Bad headline. It reads like the girls went to Florida to see their dying father kicked off the plane. Depending on who the father is, it might be fun to see him kicked off the plane.

The panic attack and wails and crying did not play in favor of the sisters.

People get up all the time when the seat belt sign is lit. I’d say give the gal a break if she just learned that her father was dying and told the stewardess (or was it a steward?) about her issue.

Not when taxiing to takeoff.

I’ve flown Allegiant before. A discount airline with really cheap fares. But they nickle and dime you with lots of extra fees. Like $25 for a carry on bag, etc. They charge extra for assigned seats. They assign them when you get on plane if you don’t pay the fee at time of booking. Even if plane is nearly empty. It is $12 fee if I remember correctly.

I don’t know details of what happened on the plane. Only what it says in article. But it could all have been over $12.

Hospice is just as nasty.

My wife and I took a very sad flight to San Francisco when our son died suddenly. We were too traumatized to make a scene or inconvenience anyone. The flight attendants had somehow been told of our loss and couldn’t have been kinder. United Airlines, Washington Dulles to San Francisco, June 11, 2002. Grief doesn’t give you a license to act like an idiot.

You will still get there at the same time

Not true. The sister who was seated the farthest forward will get there first.

(It’s to laugh friend.)

That's nothing, I had to pay $50 per checked bag on United.

Do airlines ever deplane off the rear anymore?

Based on purported eye-witness testimony to this incident, Allegiant is one airline to avoid.

Apparently, the sisters were on the aisle across from each other. And the flight was already four hours late (see youtube above).

There are rules on airplanes for a reason. A person walking around during takeoff can cause serious injury to others.
