Passenger screams she has 'pain' in her 't**s' as she tries forcibly upgrade her seat before being tied up mid-air
A furious passenger screamed at cabin crew members to upgrade her to business class because she had 'pain in my t**s'. The passenger was on a flight from St Petersburg, Russia, to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, and insisted that she needed greater comfort than her economy seat. During her rant, the woman grabbed her breasts and shouted at Aeroflot staff: 'I'm in pain in my butt, I'm in pain in my t**s.' 'I want business class,' she shouted at the Russian crew aboard the six-hour flight. 'But I need a business class because I was working,' she pleaded in the video. Her fury only heightens after they refuse her request and the crew ordered a male passenger to help subdue her. She sinks down and shouts: 'No, no, get out!' while a female voice is heard saying: 'You asked for it.' The 'unruly woman' fought on as she was bundled into an economy class seat and tied up by the male passengers, it was reported by Aviatorshina channel. 'Eyewitnesses said she screamed, not understanding why she wasn't being let into business class.' The report stated: 'The stewardesses first tried to manage on their own, but the brawler wouldn't give in. 'After she was restrained, the violator was moved to the back of the plane and handed over to the police upon arrival.' The incident was on flight SU734 today on an Airbus A330-300. The woman's identity and nationality was not reported. Aeroflot has not commented on the incident.

An unruly passenger forced an All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo to Houston to divert to Seattle on Saturday, officials said. A man attempted to open the plane's exit doors during the flight, Port of Seattle Police Department spokesperson Chris Guizlo told CBS News. Fellow passengers and flight crew members restrained the individual before landing. The plane landed at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at around 4:19 a.m. local time, according to Guizlo. Port of Seattle Police evaluated the man and determined he was having a medical crisis. He was transported to a local hospital for further treatment. It is not clear what charges the man will face, if any. CBS News reached out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Seattle branch. While on the tarmac in Seattle, a second passenger became unruly and was also removed by the Port of Seattle Police, All Nippon Airways confirmed. The two incidents are unrelated. Data from shows the flight continued from Seattle to Houston just after 7 a.m. "The safety of our passengers and crew are our top priority and we applaud the efforts of local law enforcement for their support," the airline said in a statement.
