So, she got up when the seat belt sign was lit, ignored directions from the flight attendants, and then they started screaming and wailing uncontrollably... and they blame the airline. A dying relative is not carte blanche for rude behavior. I side with the airline on this one.
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.

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.
