10 Sure Shot Ways to Get Kicked Off A Plane

Skyscanner, a travel solution company, revealed a lists of activities that can get you kicked off an aircraft.

Keep your phone switched on

There is a technical reason for which you're required to switch off your mobile phone, smart phone or any communication devices during takeoff and landing. The in-flight crew will ask you to switch it off but if you are in a mood to be thrown out of the plane then just ignore the staff and they will make sure that you are out of the plane.

Actor Alec Baldwin was once shown the exit gates from an American Airlines flight when he refused to switch off his smart phone. He was playing 'words with friends' and after repeated warnings by the staff he refused to switch it off and went near the toilet to continue playing.

But the staff noticed and had a few words with him after which he was thrown out of the plane.

Become fat or big enough to not get fit in a single seat

There is a long time debate about the fat tax according to which if you are so fat and big that you can't fit in a single seat of the aircraft then you have to reserve and pay for two seats.

Kevin Smith, Hollywood director of cult classics: Clerks, Mallrats and Chasing Amy, was once sent out of a Southwest Airline's flight after the staff found him unable to fit in one seat. Actually, Kevin had purchased two tickets according to the policy of the airline but due to some reasons he boarded an earlier flight which unfortunately had only one seat left.

Put on t-shirt with swear words on it

Sometimes you don't even need to argue or have a face to face interaction with the flight attendant to get kicked out of the plane. Just buy a t-shirt written with swear words on it.

American Airline's refused women to board her connecting flight in May 2012 because she was wearing a t-shirt that said: "If I wanted the government in my womb, I'd f**k a senator'. [NOTE: the f-word was not censored].

She was told that her t-shirt can cause discomfort other fellow passengers.

Get Over romantic while flying

There are many cases of the cabin crew finding lovers in awkward situations 'outraging public decency', and were sent out of the plane.

Actress Leisha Hailey was sent out from a Southwest Airlines flight as a result of kissing her girlfriend onboard. Though Hailey claims she was discriminated against - being a lesbian and all - but Southwest said that other passengers were complaining about her 'excessive' behavior in front of all the fellow passengers.

Make sure your kids are 'disobedient'

Ever thought of being kicked off from a plane because your children are not behaving while on board. If not then listen to this, Alaska Airline's ordered a loud toddler and his father off a plane because the child was not sitting properly during take-off after being told to switch off his iPad.

Shoot sexist comments on female pilot

If your pilot is a woman, just crack a sexist joke along the lines of 'women drivers...' and be sure your joke is loud enough to reach the ears of the cabin crew (preferable female ones) and you are on your way to the exit door.

A man flying on Trip Airline in Brazil was escorted off the plane, after he reportedly found out shouting: "someone should have told me the captain was a woman!"

Try to show your builder bum

Showing off 'builder's bum' was one of the most offensive things you can do on a plane. So if you don't want to board the plane and enjoy some more time at the airport here is the trick, wear a baggy trouser low enough so that other can see your booty crack.

Green Day front man Billie Joe and his travelling companions were both removed from a Southwest Airlines plane because the punk rock star, refused to pull up his low-slung trousers.

Can't control, go pee in a bottle

If you enjoy peeing in the open and want to be kicked out of the plane at the same time then how about trying a bottle. If that's also not working than make sure you drop some of your wee-wee on the floor.

French Actor Gerard Depardieu was sent back to the terminal, when the 62 year old just couldn't hold the pressure inside, and relieved into a bottle, but his main aim was to get off the plane so he intentionally dropped some on the floor.

Be Abusive

If you don't feel like peeing while on board or don't have a kid to make some trouble to the fellow passengers than you have to take the charge yourself by abusing fellow passengers and staff.

Liam Gallagher, Oasis front man, was banned for life from Cathay Pacific after flying into a rock 'n' roll (with it) outburst which included rough behavior and frightening staff and other passengers.

Announce fake terrorist attack

After the 9/11 attack any kind of fake information small or big about any bomb or terrorist threat can make sure that you are out of the door.

Filipino actor Jan Manalo, cracked a joke to seek attention "got a bomb in my bag!" when boarding a Philippines Airlines flight from Manila. His stupidity backfired and instead of getting a laugh, he got a free stay at the local prison cell. Though Manalo was lucky; these kinds of jokes are punishable in the Philippines with a maximum sentence of five years.
