A busy Thanksgiving flight was forced to return to Pensacola, Florida due to a passenger’s ‘medical condition.’
A passenger tried to fale the medical condition simply to get a better seat on the plane.
The Miami flight had to turn back, and even then the woman refused to deplane, said Mike Wood, spokesman with the Pensacola Police Department.
Police were called and all other passengers were evacuated from the aircraft.
The woman was eventually persuaded to exit the plane and was then detained for a psychiatric evaluation.
"When we got on the ground, we figured out she was faking a medical condition in order to get a better seat," Wood said.
The plane took off again about two hours later.
