Shocking footage from the Aeroflot flight SU734 shows the woman standing in the aisle and yelling at cabin crew in broken English.
She said: 'I want business class… I'm in pain in my butt, I'm in pain in my t*ts!'
She even grabs her own breasts while arguing her case, pleading: 'But I need a business class because I was working.'
When her rant fails to sway staff, the wild-eyed woman sinks to the floor screaming 'No, no, get out!' as a female voice calmly replies: 'You asked for it.'
Crew were helped by strong male passengers to overpower the woman after she allegedly threatened to open the emergency exit and began removing her top in desperation, according to Telegram channel Aviatorshchina.
'The woman tried to push forward, ran around the cabin, approached the emergency exit, and threatened to 'open' it,' the report said.
'It even got to 18+ content. To get to the coveted seats, the passenger began taking off her T-shirt, hoping at least that would work.'
Although the video didn't show her fully undressing, it captured her bizarre gestures and meltdown as stunned passengers watched on during the six-hour flight.
'The stewardesses first tried to manage on their own, but the brawler wouldn't give in,' the channel added.
'After she was restrained, the violator was moved to the back of the plane and handed over to the police upon arrival.'
Shock moment passenger threatens to CRASH Air India plane mid-flight in furious row just days after Ahmedabad disaster
The woman's identity and nationality remain unknown.
Aeroflot has not commented on the incident.
A traveller described the mood on board as 'tense and uncomfortable,' with some fearing the woman might actually reach the emergency exit.
'People were scared. We didn't know how far she would go,' they reportedly said.
The Airbus A330-300 aircraft was carrying dozens of holidaymakers heading Sharm el-Sheikh, many of whom were left shaken by the bizarre episode.
It's unclear whether the woman was under the influence of alcohol or medication at the time.
Aeroflot has not released further details.
The woman was detained upon landing in Egypt, but authorities have yet to confirm what charges — if any — she may face.
It comes after a drunk woman attacked another passenger mid-air, screaming and refusing to let go of her hair as she spat and kicked during the violent episode.
Leanna Perry, 32, was charged with aggravated assault after throwing a fit on a Southwest Airlines flight.

Inside the 'dark side' of tourist destination where a British woman was forced to pay thousands to rescue animals from 'death camp for dogs'
A British woman who decided to fundraise for an animal shelter in Egypt was forced to step in when she found out it was in fact what she's dubbeed a 'death camp for dogs'. Former military woman Claire Steele was then brought into the 'dark side' of the north African nation, where dogs endure the most horrific conditions at the hands of people. They are raped, attacked and shot - with locals who cannot understand people would want to help the animals. Claire had to throw food over the walls of the shelter just to try and feed the dogs, before paying thousands to rescue them herself. She said the trauma of witnessing the treatment to dogs in Egypt is even worse than her time in the military. It comes in a country which still remains a popular tourist destination for Brits, in a side that they do not often see. Claire became involved with a local charity when she was in Egypt with the British army. She said the charity was run by a man called Rami who owned a shelter for dogs called Paws Crossed. Claire moved back to Wiltshire and began to help him out with fundraising. However, Claire said she was soon 'let down', saying there are a 'lot of dishonest people' in animal welfare in Egypt She said: 'I offered to try and get some dogs out of there and get them re-homed. 'So I did that in 2018, and I took 8 dogs out of there and got them re-homed in the UK. 'And then in 2019, he abandoned his shelter. Basically just left like maybe 100 dogs there, starving to death. 'Yeah, he just. He just didn't turn up one day, I think he moved away somewhere, but he just left the dogs and he didn't put anything in place for them.' Claire, with the help of another friend in Egypt attempted to step in to try and help the dogs in the shelter. However, they discovered that what she believed had been a sanctuary, was more like a 'death camp' for the dogs. The dogs have all been rescued from owners who abused them or brought in from the streets She said: 'There was no food and the dogs were starving. 'It was awful. Dogs were really badly injured in that in that shelter, and they didn't get any support, no veterinary support, as you can imagine. 'It was really terrible. 'I used to call it like a death camp for dogs. It was like a concentration camp. 'it was horrendous. We had dogs with limbs hanging off and puppies being born, dogs that were all breeding in there.' Claire and her friend Sanaa attempted to take over the rescue, but were refused entry by the landlord. It transpired that Rami had been running the shelter as a tenant and Claire was told that he had built up debt with his landlord before he fled. Claire was faced with a decision whether to pay Rami's debts in order to try and rescue the dogs. She said: 'It was a really painful process just to get food in. The landlord wouldn't let anyone enter the land. We were having to throw food over the walls to feed the dogs. 'I ended up paying off all the debt so that we could get the dogs out. About £5,000. 'I managed to fundraise some of it and then pay the rest myself.' After rescuing the dogs from the shelter, Claire and her friend Sanaa decided to set up their own sanctuary to give the dogs a real safe home to live in. After seeing the horrors the animals had endured, they named in 'Paws Crossed Survivors'. Initially, the sanctuary was set up to help re-home the dogs and managed to give more than a hundred animals new homes in the UK, Canada and Austria. However logistical challenges mean the pair have stopped re-homing the dogs and are now focused on ensuring they have a safe home in Egypt. Claire said: 'We call it a sanctuary now because we don't focus on re-homing dogs anymore in the UK or abroad or anywhere else. 'We realised that it is difficult to re-home dogs which have been traumatised or abused by humans, it takes a special kind of owner for that and not just anyone can take these dogs.' Claire said the atrocities she has seen towards the animals in Egypt have traumatised her more than any of her experiences in the military. She said: 'We found dogs that have been hog tied there is a lot of rape, a lot of bestiality. 'I rescued a dog once that was giving birth under a car, and as the dog was giving birth I saw children crawling under the car and taking the puppies, and smashing them on the ground as tools, killing them. 'I've seen kids take puppies off the streets and take them to the market to be slaughtered for food. 'I've seen people tie dogs to trees and then shoot them. 'I've got a dog that I'm re-homing at the moment called Life. She was tied up and shot over 30 times with an air rifle. Miraculously she is still alive now. 'I think, the rate the bestiality things becoming a big issue. Claire said the atrocities she has seen towards the animals in Egypt have traumatised her more than any of her experiences in the military The pair are now trying to help some of the street dogs who roam wild in the towns and villages 'I've seen dogs being dragged through the streets with the owners having machetes sort of hacking at them. 'We've taken in some really bad cases. It's just this sick minded mentality.' Claire said she has also experienced threats and break-ins while in Egypt. 'Last time I was there we had a home invasion. 'A van full of men turned up with guns and knives and threatened us. 'They went through the whole shelter. We don't know what they were looking for, what they wanted, but they just terrorized us for about six hours. 'We had visitors from Canada there, too, that were visiting the sanctuary. So that was pretty scary for them. 'It is just a really dangerous country. Especially for British and western women.' With so many stray dogs in desperate need of care, the demand has become too great for Claire and Sanaa to take them all in. They have begun a Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR) program to spay and neuter the dogs that live in the area. Dogs from the local area are taken into their onsite clinic, given medications and vaccinations to allow them to be safer when they return to the streets. Egypt is a popular tourist destination for Brits and Claire believes that away from the resorts, is Egypt's 'dark side'. Her sanctuary is just an hour away from Giza, home to the world famous Pyramids which attract thousands of visitors from all over the world each year. She said: 'We have visitors come to the sanctuary to come and visit us and stay with us. 'They come when they've come on holiday to Egypt and then come visit us. 'But they're absolutely appalled and quite traumatized actually. They always say to me, I'm never going back to Egypt. I don't know how you can go there. I don't know how you can work there. 'We have done spay programs sort of around Giza and I have countless tourists contact us to say, 'I found this dog that's been run over', or 'this dog that's been abused', or 'this dog that's starving. Can you help?' 'They will send us an email saying that befriended this dog and there anything that you can do? 'So the general public visiting Egypt are just appalled by it. 'There are no rescue centres, the is no RSPCA here that people can take a dog to and actually, local people think you're insane for helping a dog. 'We get abused all the time. We have a project called Street Paws and it's a feeding program. 'We have kibble, we call it our Kibble Fund, and we go out to feed stray dogs. 'We have our areas that we go to for food drops and we get so much abuse from people for doing that. 'They say 'why are you feeding the dogs, what about us?' And they take the food. They steal the food for themselves. 'I call it like the dark side. It's what tourists don't see. 'People that go to resorts and stay in the resorts in Egypt, and don't go out anywhere else. They say, 'Oh, Egypt's beautiful' and it's because they stayed in this amazing hotel. It's because the workers go out and literally poison any dogs in that vicinity. 'It's dark, it's dirty, it's beyond cruel. It's despicable. 'Unthinkable things happening to animals just behind that resort or a few miles away from that place. It is really dark.' Claire is just one volunteer working in Egypt to try and save dogs and raise awareness about the treatment of animals. Georgia Tesfaye, 30, has started rescuing dogs from Egypt after hearing gruesome stories of abuse, forced amputations and even rapes of animals in the country. After working with dogs from a young age, Georgia said working to help rescue dogs from Egypt gave her life a 'purpose' and set up her charity Four Paws One Heart in 2024. She previously told The Mail the abuse faced by animals in Egypt is 'surreal', with hundreds in need of rescuing. Georgia claims she has seen dogs that have been hit by cars, poisoned, beaten, thrown form buildings, being hung, raped, used for dog fighting and being electrocuted. She said: 'Every worse possible way to hurt an animal is done and it is very real. It is heartbreaking.' In one horrific example, she rescued a Golden Retriever called Hope which they believed had been raped. She said: 'Hope was lifeless and she had been thrown on the street, it appeared she had been raped by a human. 'She had an infection of her uterus as well as sepsis and her organs were all failing. 'Hope was in a critical condition for a very long time. 'Unfortunately we have seen that this is a common occurrence for the animals here. The day after finding Hope, Georgia found another Golden Retriever called Daisy in the exact same location. 'She was lifeless, with the same injuries and completely soul broken,' she added. 'Her injuries and organ failure were so severe that she had to be put down. 'It was absolutely heartbreaking. 'A week later there was reports of a cat being seen raped by a man, in the street, in the same location we found Hope and Daisy.' Hope has been lucky. She had overcome her illness and has started to recover from the mental abuse she faced. Georgia described her as a 'miracle'. The 10-year-old is now ready to be adopted and find a family who look after her. There are estimated to be around 15 million stray dogs in Egypt. Traditionally in Egypt dogs have been considered an unclean animal that should not be owned for companionship, which can often lead to their poor treatment. In another heartbreaking case, a Malinois called Rocky has his leg cut off by his owners who refused veterinary treatment. She found that Rocky had injuries from being attacked, include a bit wound which had left him without one of his ears. He was also missing part of his front leg when he was found. Georgia said: 'We believe he had been used as bait for a very long time. 'However the most horrific part is that his front leg had been cut off with a machete 'The bone was protruding out and its clear he had been this way for some days. 'We believe his leg was injured from a fight, and instead of seeking veterinary treatment they cut his leg off, as this is a common occurrence. Despite what Rocky faced, Georgia described the dog as the 'most loving, trusting, affectionate sweet boy'. She added: 'He absolutely adores us, he really trusts us. Hope is now ready to be adopted and find a family who look look after her Pictured: Hope and Georgia Read More Three MILLION street dogs to be killed in Morocco ahead of the FIFA World Cup in a 'brutal clean-up' 'He has so much love to give and it would be a dream if he found a family of his own. 'We have been very luckily offered a prosthetic leg to be made for free for him in the UK in Norfolk. So we are desperate for him to find a foster or adopter in the Norfolk area so that his leg can be made. And his new life can begin forgetting his horrid past.' Still in its early stages, her charity is currently only able to rescue one dog at a time, due to the cost of veterinary care for each one which comes into her ownership. She added: 'We wish to rescue every single animal from the market, and if we could, we really would. 'But we just wouldn't be able to afford all their care, or have anywhere to put the 100s of dogs. Its so cruel, and our soul and heart rips to shreds every time we have to leave the others behind.'

Moment plane passenger is detained by police to applause after row with others onboard saw flight to Alicante diverted back to the UK
This is the moment passengers on a Jet2 flight erupted into applause as police detained a man after a row with others onboard saw the flight to Alicante diverted back to the UK. The incident happened on a Jet2 flight which had taken off as normal at 6.41pm last night to fly 1,100 miles to the Spanish resort of Alicante. But the Boeing 737 had only made it 100 miles from Leeds Bradford to Leicester when the captain announced he was turning around due to 'a disruptive incident on board'. The man, who was wearing an orange T shirt and jeans, was led away by uniformed police after the furore on the flight to the Costa Blanca - which ended up delaying as many as 188 other passengers by four hours. The plane safely touched back down at Leeds airport where it had taken off from just 40 minutes earlier. Video clips taken by other passengers showed a man standing up in the aisle and seemingly remonstrating with holidaymakers including a woman who had jumped out of her seat a few rows away from him after the plane came to a standstill. The man can be seen smirking as he stood in the aisle and told another passenger: 'Put your phone down and fight one on one.' As the man he was shouting at stood up to confront him, another chimed in and said: 'You'll get kicked off as well'. The man taunted them by sticking his tongue out and beating his chest, as someone else on the plane shouted: 'Don't rise to it. Let him get chucked off.' Police officers are then seen boarding the aircraft with passengers laughing as they said: 'Look behind ya, lad! Look behind ya, big boy! You w****r!' The rowdy man's smug grin was quickly wiped off his face when he saw the cops coming towards him. He is seen pointing and shouting at the officers, before quickly making a beeline for one of the men he was arguing with and appearing to square up to him, prompting people to shout: 'Arrest him now!'. The entire flight burst into cheers and applause as the man was finally detained and escorted off of the plane, with one yelling: 'In a bit, lad!'. Another clip taken through a window of the plane showed the man talking to three officers on the tarmac as one appeared to search him. Jet2 is said to have sent passengers a message, saying: 'We are sorry that flight LS491 Leeds Bradford to Alicante has diverted to Leeds Bradford due to a disruptive incident on board. 'We are working on the situation and will update you shortly. This is an unscheduled change, so we're doing everything we can to minimise any disruption to your onward journey. Thanks for your understanding and patience.' The plane was forced to stay on the ground until it eventually took off again at 11.10pm, more than four hours after its scheduled departure time. A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: 'At 7.12pm yesterday, police were made aware of a flight which had been diverted from Birmingham to Leeds Bradford Airport due to a disturbance involving a passenger. 'Officers attended and boarded the plane on its arrival at the airport. 'A man was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Aviation Security Act 1982. 'He remains in custody today and enquiries are continuing.' A Jet2 spokesperson said: 'We can confirm that a disruptive passenger has received a six-month flying ban with us, following their appalling behaviour which led to flight LS491 from Leeds Bradford to Alicante having to return to Leeds Bradford so that police could offload them. 'As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour.' Disruptive plane passengers risk large fines and the threat of possible criminal charges or even a prison sentence. The aviation watchdog, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), says disruptive passengers could be made to pay the cost of diverting a plane, which could easily exceed £10,000.

Flight attendant removed from plane after ‘downing wine and crashing car on way to Heathrow was FOUR times legal limit'
A FLIGHT attendant was removed from a plane after she downed wine then crashed her car on the way to Heathrow, a court heard. Kathryn Scott, 44, was allegedly more than four times legal limit for flight attendants in the UK. 3 The Virgin Atlantic cabin crew member had crashed her black Hyundai at a roundabout on the way to work, JPs heard. Uxbridge Magistrates' Court was told Scott was given a lift to Heathrow by a member of the public on June 12. After the crash was reported to the police, she was removed from the plane until officers arrived. Scott admitted was in an accident and told police she had two glasses of wine eight hours before the flight. The court heard she had 91 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood - the legal limit being 20 milligrams. JPs were told Scott has been diagnosed with a liver condition, which means she may not be able to break down alcohol in the usual way. She also blames the crash on a fault with her car's steering, it was said. Scott has denied a single charge of performing an aviation function when over the alcohol limit. She has been bailed to appear at the same court for trial on December 11. 3 3
