    She had an alcoholic drink in a cup. Which means she got something in the airport lounge and instead of throwing it out she just downed the last of it before getting on the plane. This is not an unusual thing passengers do it all the time.

    And regardless of her personality shitty or otherwise. The crew had no right to kick her off the way they did.

      Where is the “downed the last of it before getting on the plane” coming from?

      Seems like, from what I read (and correct me if I’m wrong)

      • She got on the plane with the alcohol in an open cup
      • They said she couldn’t do that (limits on outside alcohol, open drinks in general)
      • It escalated because she seemed not to be listening
      • She was kicked off because of, at least in theory, the drink thing

      Sounds like they still overreacted, but don’t get why parent is being downvotes, or why people are inventing details.

        “According to the flight attendant directly involved in the matter, the passenger boarded with an open container which she admitted contained alcohol when questioned. Bringing an open container of alcohol on board violates both Frontier policy and federal law. When the flight attendant informed the passenger of the violation, the passenger rapidly consumed the remaining alcohol in the cup before handing it over,” the airline told Newsweek.

        If you read the whole article, you tend to get the whole story.

          I mean this sounds pretty relatable for me. No more open container, right?

          Unless the rule is you can’t drink outside alcohol on the plane. Then, by drinking it without asking first you are obviously doubling down and being insubordinant.
