Woman causes hour-long delay before being kicked off flight for REFUSING to put expensive Louis Vuitton bag under seat

A woman was forcibly removed from a flight at a Chinese airport after causing an hour-long delay by refusing to stow her Louis Vuitton bag under her seat.

The unidentified passenger was sitting in an economy class seat on the flight that was set to take off from an airport in Chongqing municipality.

But the plane was forced to return to the gate after the flight crew asked the woman to store her bag under the seat, but were repeatedly refused.

A video uploaded by a traveler on the flight showed the woman in deep discussion with Douyin attendants.

At one point, he began to ignore the cabin crew and started playing with his cell phone, the The New York Post reported.

The footage reportedly showed other passengers applauding as the woman was escorted off the plane.

According to the South Porcelain Morning Mailto A Louis Vuitton bag costs about $3,000 in China.

By comparison, an economy-class ticket for the flight from Chongqing to Hebei province in northern China operated by China Express Airlines costs $110.

When the clip went viral on the Chinese short video app, viewers were left divided over the incident, with some saying the cabin crew escalated the situation.

“The flight attendant could have offered her a bag to put her purse in. Is it really necessary to waste an hour and kick her off the plane?” one asked.

While others criticized the selfish passenger.

“The flight attendant didn’t insist on this rule for nothing. A woman should value her safety and that of other passengers more than her handbag,” joked another.

Travelers are generally asked to always store their luggage in the overhead bins or under the seats in front of them, as anything that could become a projectile or block an escape route on the plane.
