Passenger clashes with flight attendants, escorted off plane over incident with her dog
A woman has reacted with fury as airline staff tried to escort her off a flight following an altercation over her dog.
In a video of the incident, which happened in Atlanta, USA, and has been shared on Reddit, we see the woman speaking loudly with staff, pleading with them to let her catch the flight.
"I need to catch this plane," she says.
They tell her she needs to come with them and she responds by saying, "Oh my God" and placing her hand over her mouth, asking, "Because my dog was on my lap?"

When the cabin crew continue to insist she leave the plane, the woman pauses for a few seconds – and it's then that she begins to berate them.
"Oh no, honey we are about to fight then," she says, walking towards staff.
"I didn't f---ing do anything to you guys. My dog was sitting on my lap, I put him in the bag," she explains, pleading once more to stay on the flight.
The cabin crew are unmoved, with one explaining she needs to leave the plane and that her ticket will be refunded and she is free to fly with another airline.

It gets worse when the woman notices passengers filming the incident – and one yells at her to "get off the plane" – causing her to swear and throw a bottle of water at one of them.
Staff suggestions she "calm down" only make her angrier.
"Calm down? You guys have been nothing but f---ing rude. You guys are rude but I need to calm down?" she yells.
At this point a flight attendant remarks, "No one who acting this way flies on a flight with us."
She eventually leaves the plane and despite police being called, there were no arrests.
Redditers have praised airline staff for remaining calm during the incident. Reddit
"We need a full compilation of all the videos that were taken on that plane," one unsympathetic Redditer commented.
"Gonna need the bottle guys camera angle," added another.
One commented on the staff member on the receiving end of majority of her tirade, saying: "'That dude was such a boss. Calm, cool, and collected the whole time and got her off the plane."
Another said: "Great interactions by the employees seriously. He did everything right to lower tone, volume of voice and speak quietly and calmly. Perfect!"
Small dogs are allowed to fly on some airlines but must be kept in their bag carrier under the seat in front of them and not on their owner's lap.
