'Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas makes career switch two years after viral rant
Two years after she went viral following a meltdown onboard an American Airlines flight, self-proclaimed 'crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas is launching a Passes page in which subscribers can pay to see her pose in a bikini. This week Gomas announced on social media that she will be launching a paid site that will give supporters a behind-the-scenes look at her 'chaos: work, workouts, pups, sports, shoes, & fits.' 'I told y'all that mf wasn't real… but this is…' she wrote on X. 'Relaunching now on Passes. Come chat with me here and I'll answer all your questions.' On Instagram, she told her 159,000 followers her new PG-13 account will offer an 'unfiltered, unexpected and unapologetic' look into her life. Monthly packages range from $10 to $70 and includes access to her photo uploads, discounts on pay-per-view material, messaging, signed Polaroid pics (for $500), Instagram follow backs (another $500) and other goodies. Some of her followers were hoping Gomas was going to announce she was joining the racier Only Fans, but the Dallas-based marketing exec opted for Passes, which doesn't permit explicit content. Gomas made headlines worldwide in the summer of 2023 after she charged to the front of a plane on an Orlando-bound flight before takeoff declaring one of her fellow passengers was 'not real.' 'I'm telling you, I'm getting the f*** off and there's a reason why I'm getting the f*** off and everyone can either believe it or they can not believe it,' Gomas was seen screaming as she marched down the aisle. Pointing towards the back of the plane, she declared: 'I don't give two f****, but I am telling you right now – that motherf***** back there is not real. You can sit on this plane, and you can die with them or not. I'm not going to.' After the incident, Gomas quashed online chatter from conspiracy theorists that she had seen something otherworldly. 'The reason I probably haven't come out yet is that it's so cringe,' she said during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast. Gomas said her outburst happened after she got into 'a little bit of an altercation' with a fellow passenger. 'It was not my best moment … it was actually a horrible moment. Absolutely mortifying,' she said, stressing that she didn't encounter an extraterrestrial. 'I literally did not see anything … It was an expression of speech.' Gomas wouldn't say what sparked the argument and only offered that she was 'in my feels' and 'highly distressed.' She was allowed to exit the plane, but her tirade continued after she was back inside the airport as she swore at cops. Police bodycam footage obtained by the New York Post showed Gomas being escorted from the terminal. 'Do not let that flight leave … That flight is not going to make it to Orlando. It's not going to,' she pleaded. In the years since, Gomas has stayed in the spotlight be continuing to joke about the event. 'Sooo, who's ready for the alien invasion that's supposed to go down today?' she tweeted last December. She then followed up her post by changing into the same outfit she wore on the plane. 'Officially ready for the invasion. Bring it on mf'ers,' she wrote. 'Yo, I'm ready,' one follower replied. 'I got popcorn. I got signs. I got it all ready to go.' mdaniell@ 'Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas reveals what really caused viral 'not real' meltdown 'Crazy plane lady' Tiffany Gomas takes to air again after in-flight meltdown — but won't say what she saw

American Airlines Debuts New Amenity Kits With an Iconic Hollywood Designer
American Airlines' amenity kits are getting a Hollywood makeover. In a limited-edition release, the airline will debut three new styles by celebrity designer Brandon Blackwood, whose styles have been worn by stars like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Liu, Megan Thee Stallion, and Heidi Klum. 'I remember how excited I would get as a child, racing to find my seat and eagerly searching for the amenity kits,' the 33-year-old trending fashion designer told Travel + Leisure, noting that he often traveled and moved around the world since his stepdad was in banking. 'Each kit felt like a little treasure trove, filled with varied, thoughtfully designed items that brought me so much joy and curiosity.' His goal while taking on this collaboration was to 'recreate that same feeling of excitement and wonder,' aiming for styles that meld functionality with whimsy. 'I wanted every kit to spark that sense of curiosity I once had as a child, bringing a smile to travelers,' he added. The complimentary kits will be available on select summer flights starting in mid-June and running through September for passengers in premium classes flying between the U.S. and Asia, Australia, Europe, South America, and the Middle East, as well as on domestic cross-country and Hawaii flights. Premium economy travelers will receive a blue-and-white pouch in Blackwood's trademark checkered pattern, while those in Flagship business will be treated to a black pouch with red accents including the checkered design on the inside. The most coveted kit will be reserved for Flagship first class passengers, who will receive a mini version of Blackwood's viral Portmore bag, made of denim with a wrap-around zipper. 'The Portmore backpack holds a special place in my heart as one of the very first styles I created and the bag that truly put us on the map,' Blackwood said. He scaled down the design for the airline as an ode to his brand's 10th anniversary. 'It was a journey to take such an iconic bag and reimagine it for this significant moment in our history—this feels like a rebirth of a classic.' Brandon Blackwood with the his full American Airlines amenity kits. Lexi Lambro/American Airlines Inside each kit will be a curated selection of skincare products, including Buttah lip balm and towelette and Pholk lotion. The collaboration is the second of the Texas-based carrier's limited-edition kits, which started in 2024 with women-owned B Corp company Raven & Lily in partnership with Stand Up to Cancer and helped raise $4.3 million for the nonprofit. The opportunity marks a profound moment for Blackwood, who was on the 2024 Time 100 list for revolutionizing the fashion industry with the End Systemic Racism tote. 'Being a first to do something is always such a milestone, especially at this scale,' Blackwood told T+L of the opportunity as a Black designer to work with a brand like American Airlines, which he's long adored. 'Every first my brand has done has helped spotlight other brands of those that look like myself. It gives hope, spreads awareness, and shows that there is so much overlooked talent that's waiting to show up and show out.' For those who have long supported his brand, he hopes they'll 'feel a sense of pride and see a reflection of both themselves and our brand in the kits,' while he hopes those happening upon his designs for the first time will see the kits as a 'warm welcome…inviting everyone to share this beautiful experience together.' The partnership is a choice that the airline is excited to bring to their passengers for the summer travel season. 'Brandon's bold, fashion-forward designs are the perfect addition to our amenity kit collection, especially as we see our premium customers skewing younger, which is in line with Gen Z investing in luxury items and experiences,' the airline's chief customer officer Heather Garboden said in a statement obtained by T+L.
