While on an airplane, people are expected to take certain actions to ensure that their journey and that of others traveling with them remain safe and comfortable. However, from time to time, we see passenger behavior that makes us wonder if they didn't receive the memo. From trying to open a plane door mid-air to punching a flight attendant, here are some recent stories about flyers that are unbelievable.
1. A passenger opens the airplane's emergency door.
The shocking incident occurred as the Aeromexico flight was waiting to take off from Mexico's international airport. The man opened the plane's exit door, climbed onto the plane's wing and went for a walk. He did this after waiting on the plane during a five-hour delay. He was arrested as he reentered the plane.
2. A man punches a steward
The man was taken into police custody after punching a steward in the face and causing him to fall to the ground. The incident occurred on a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok to London. The man first walked around the plane's toilet, breaking things, and then got into a scuffle with the crew and passengers who tried to stop him. During the commotion, he punched a steward.
A video of the battle was also published in X.
3. A man tries to open a door in the air
A man tried to open the emergency door mid-air on an American Airlines flight and caused a commotion. “One of the scariest days of my life. I was about 30 minutes in the air on my flight home from ABQ when a huge gust of wind came out of nowhere. This guy opened the emergency exit door. I was lying face down and tied up with zip ties. I had to make an emergency landing,” user X wrote and shared the video. The footage shows the man being escorted off the plane by authorities.

A man living in China got into an argument over a first class seat on a flight from Beijing to Chengdu, causing the flight to be delayed for three hours. The man reportedly bought two first class tickets and one economy class ticket for his son. But my child started crying so I asked for a free upgrade. The passenger continued to request a seat even after the flight attendant refused. He was then escorted off the plane by police.
