An American woman has upset fellow travellers after she prepared a meal including boiled eggs during a long-haul flight earlier this month.
Jess Marra embarked on the ten-hour journey from Los Angeles to Paris equipped with ziplock bags and containers full of prepared ingredients to assemble an alternative meal during the flight.
The healthy meal choice sparked outrage online after the LA digital marketing worker shared a video of herself digging in to the questionable choice of protein.
In the clip that has since gone viral, Jess can be seen sitting in the window seat as she cuts an avocado and empties salad dressing and mixed leaves into a reusable container to go alongside the boiled eggs.
'Making my own healthy dinner on a 10 hour flight bc free will exists,' text over the video read.
Mortified viewers took to the comments to air their disapproval.
'Just because you can eat an egg on a flight doesn't mean you should,' one person wrote.
'Please take a kind hint from the majority of comments here and leave those boiled eggs at home next time…' another added.
'No one likes you on this flight….. no one,' a third agreed.
'New fear unlocked: I get on a plane and the person next to me starts making an egg salad,' another wrote.
Jess has defended her unpopular decision, editing the post's caption just days ago to reassure her haters.
'Bc I hate plane food ✈️also i swear the SOFT BOILED egg didn't smell but will take the judgement,' the updated caption stated.
The jet setter has poked fun at her viral moment during her most recent work trip, where she opted for a single-serve yoghurt and pre-package beverage for her in-flight snack.
'Today's plane snax for all my haters' the update on Instagram stories said. Jess Marra's lighthearted response to the backlash. Credit: Instagram
