One of the attendants accused the woman of drinking before boarding the plane.
United Airlines has temporarily banned a woman from flying with it after she caused the pilots to divert the flight following an argument with the crew over wine, the New York Post reported. The woman, whose name has not been released, caused a "disruptive" scene on a flight from Houston to Los Angeles on July 25. The flight had to divert to Phoenix due to the passenger's refusal to comply with flight attendants' instructions to return to her seat, the outlet further said.
Videos of the argument have been posted on TikTok by user Blake Perkins in which a flight attendant is heard asking the woman to take her seat.
"Sit down," the flight attendant repeatedly screams at the woman, the Post said in its report. "Just land," she is heard telling the flight crew member.
