Two passengers decided to transfer from economy class to business class on January 20 on a half-empty United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Tel Aviv, Israel. Then they refused to leave these places at the request of the flight attendant and made a scandal. As a result, the plane returned to Newark, turning around halfway, reports USA Today.

On an overnight flight to Tel Aviv, two passengers took empty seats in business class. Two Israelis, whose names were not released, changed from economy class to business class about 90 minutes after takeoff.

The dispute arose when the flight crew asked passengers to show tickets for those seats. They scandalously refused to show their tickets or leave their seats, and the Boeing 787-10 ended up returning to Newark and the flight was cancelled. United Airlines said Flight 90 returned "due to violations committed by passengers on board."

After the flight was cancelled, the airline provided passengers with hotel accommodation, food stamps and "arranged the opportunity to complete their journey".

Law enforcement officers met the plane during landing

Airline and administration the airport it was not immediately reported whether the passengers had been charged in connection with the incident. There were 123 passengers and 11 crew members on the flight.

A quick search on the United Airlines website reveals that business class flights from Newark to Tel Aviv are many times more expensive than economy class. An economy class ticket for January 30 from Newark to the Israeli city costs $1062 round trip. Business class seat at United Polaris round trip - $10.
