Flight attendant ‘tells passenger she has a stupid face’ after using first class overhead bins


A Delta flight attendant allegedly told a passenger she had a “stupid face” after she went to use the first-class overhead bins.

The incident allegedly occurred during an Orlando to New York LaGuardia flight on 7 November 2022, with the woman’s husband claiming they were both then “threatened”, “verbally assaulted” and “wrongly removed” from the flight.

The pair claim it started when they put their luggage in first-class overhead locker.

They were not seated in this section of the aircraft, but their row didn’t have enough baggage storage, leading the couple to store their bags elsewhere.

The crew member is also filmed saying: “Don’t do it, because I will turn this plane back and get you off.”

It was at this stage that Mr Todd claims the flight attendant insulted his wife, allegedly saying: “Don’t look at me with that stupid face.”

“Jen looks at her and asks her what she just said and then the lady says that ‘she is from the Bronx and you don’t want this’. The only thing Jen was doing is smiling,” he alleged.

Mr Todd claims he has been chasing compensation ever since.

“Delta ask us to remove all posts so they could take care of us,” Mr Todd alleged on Twitter.

“We did everything they ask and all we got in return is ‘we appreciate your patience’ and them dragging their feet. @Delta it’s time to do the right thing!” he tweeted.

A Delta spokesperson did not respond to the specific…
