- A woman was led off a Southwest flight in handcuffs over the weekend after reportedly causing a disturbance because she was allegedly intoxicated

- The incident is one of many recently recorded instances of passengers being kicked off planes for questionable behavior
A woman who appeared to be drunk was removed from a Southwest flight out of New Orleans in a dramatic clip that was posted online Sunday.
The woman is seen being yanked from her seat by two law enforcement officers and dragged down the aisle of the plane, as she objects and repeatedly says: ‘I’m so confused what’s happening.’
According to the caption of the clip, which was posted over the weekend to the Instagram account ppv_tahoe, the woman had been causing a disturbance on the flight and was asked to leave.
When she failed to oblige, officers were called in to remove her. ‘She was allegedly drunk according to witnesses,’ read the caption.

The incident unfolded on a Southwest Airlines flight out of New Orleans’ Louis Armstrong International Airport
As the woman, dressed in athleisure, was dragged from her window seat into the aisle, she begins to protest the direction in which things are headed.
‘Can I please have my phone?’ she asks.
When it seems she is not handed her phone, she continues: ‘No, I literally need my phone, I paid for that.’
‘I’m literally so confused what’s happening,’ she says.
‘Yeah, well we’re not,’ retorted one passenger.
All the while, passengers sitting in the surrounding seats look on, not one appearing to protest the woman’s fate.
In fact, in the clip, passengers can be heard offering words of support in favor of her expulsion from the plane.
‘Get off!’ someone says as she is led away.
In the last frames of the clip, one of the officers takes out a pair of handcuffs and slaps them on the woman before she is led the final portion of the way off the plane.
It is unclear if the woman was charged or was allowed to board a different flight later.
Southwest Airlines has been contacted for comment.
New Orleans, a city known for its raucous ways and open container laws, may have gotten to this woman’s head before she boarded her flight home.
But this incident is hardly the sole instance of a passenger being forcibly removed from a flight in recent weeks for questionable behavior.
Just last week, a similar situation unfolded when a ‘drunk’ and ‘aggressive’ woman who was onboard a flight heading to Las Vegas screamed at other passengers as she was ordered off the plane over disorderly behavior.
The incident was filmed by a passenger who said that the unidentified woman was ‘visibly intoxicated’ and was ‘acting aggressively to staff.’
The woman was dragged from her seat by two officers and handcuffed on the way off the plane
I jusy wanna go home 😩🤣#fyp #airline #traveling
Last month, a female passenger was booted from a Frontier Airlines flight after fed-up passengers held a vote.
The incredible moment occurred on a flight from Trenton to Atlanta and was filmed and posted on TikTok.
A passenger in a red shirt and glasses was heard asking the packed cabin: ‘If you want her removed from the flight raise your hand.
‘I’m not even kidding. If you can hear me, raise your hand if you want her removed from the flight. I’m not even kidding, I got 40 hands up.’
The footage then showed multiple passengers with their hands up before the self-appointed leader of the pack called for a security guard to come over.
The bizarre incident unfolded after a couple, sitting a few rows in front of the woman who was voted off, had a verbal altercation with a flight attendant and were themselves kicked off the plane.
The video then showed the woman gathering her things to leave the flight, which had been delayed about an hour on the ground.
