An irate passenger demanded his plane go back to the gate — moments before takeoff — when he realized he’d left his bag at the airport lounge
The furious flyer wouldn’t listen to reason, video of the outburst shows.
“If you still feel like this, we have to move you off the flight, so do you want to go?” a flight attendant asked the man as he inched closer to her.
“Do you want to wait until Bangkok?”
“Yes, yes I want to go now, ask the captain,” the angry traveler demanded while pointing over the attendant’s head toward the cockpit — forcing her to grab his arm and push it down to tone down the tirade.
The plane was taking off from the Chaing Mai International Airport in Thailand en route to Bangkok July 19, according to Newsflare.
The video cuts to the Airbus A320 in the queue for takeoff when the captain is heard over the intercom breaking the news they’d be returning to the gate because of the unruly passenger.
Security is also seen escorting the selfish passenger and two others he was traveling with off the plane after the aircraft’s return.
It’s unknown if the man was arrested — or if he found his bag — after exiting the plane.
“He was complaining that his bag with money and important things inside was still at the airport, ” one annoyed passenger told the outlet.
“It was very disruptive and they didn’t care they were making other people late,” the unidentified passenger added.
The flight eventually took off and landed safely in Bangkok once the bizarre, self-absorbed passenger got off the aircraft, according to the outlet.
In a similar me-first airplane ruckus, a United Airlines flight bound for Amsterdam had to be diverted to Chicago last week after a passenger was allegedly upset he didn’t get his preferred meal choice.
The unruly passenger was seated in business class and may have been intoxicated when he learned that he wouldn’t get his first menu pick.
