A Chinese woman had to be removed from a plane because she refused to place her expensive bag under the seat in front of her, as is customary on most flights. The woman's unwillingness to put her Louis Vuitton luggage on the floor prompted a one-hour delay, and passengers applauded when she was forced off the flight, according to the South China Morning Post.
The incident went viral after a co-passenger published a video on the Chinese social media platform Douyin, which has received over 4 million views.
The unnamed woman was sitting in economy class on a China Express Airlines aircraft. She was asked to place her Louis Vuitton luggage under the seat in front of her. However, the woman insisted on keeping the bag beside her.?
On August 10, an incident occurred at an airport in China's Chongqing municipality. The woman's rejection caused a lengthy wait for other passengers, who were relieved to see her leave the plane.
According to reports, the airplane had already departed and needed to return to the boarding gate so that the rowdy passenger could be removed off.?
China Express Airlines declined to comment on the incident or provide the passenger's identity. However, the video received mixed comments on Chinese social media.?
As per reports, some users chastised the woman for disrupting the flight and inconveniencing other passengers, others said they understood her reluctance to place expensive designer luggage on the floor and believed a compromise could have been made rather than forcing her off the plane.?
