  • Videos shared on TikTok show several passengers in a shouting match on a Frontier Airlines flight.
  • A couple was removed from the flight from Trenton, New Jersey, to Atlanta, Georgia, per WPVI-TV.
  • Passengers then voted to eject a third person — who also appeared to be escorted off the plane.

Videos shared on social media appear to show a woman being voted off of a plane on Monday after several passengers got into a shouting match on board a Frontier Airlines flight from Trenton, New Jersey, to Atlanta, Georgia.

The footage, posted to TikTok by Lanais Li, a passenger on the flight, shows an argument between a couple, a flight attendant, and a woman sitting a few rows back, with other passengers intermittently getting involved.

 

"We've been asking you to mind your own business this whole plane ride," one female passenger can be heard shouting at the passenger, who was sitting several rows behind her. 

She later accused the passenger of having antagonized her by making remarks throughout the flight, the video shows.

It's unclear what prompted the conflict, but Li, who did not respond to Insider's request for comment, wrote in a TikTok that the woman was arguing "because her man was getting thrown off the flight because they were arguing with a flight attendant over a seat."

Ground crew members eventually pulled the couple off the flight, according to WPVI-TV.

But in another video, also shared by Li, a man on the flight can be heard calling on his fellow passengers to vote to remove someone else — the woman in the white cardigan who had been in the screaming match with the couple.

"If you can hear me and want her removed from the flight, raise your hand," he called out.

Several people raised their hands.

"I'm trying to prove a point," he said. "If you want to be a dick to people, I'm going to be a dick back."

The woman then collected her bags, cursed at the man who called the vote, and was escorted from the flight by what appeared to be a member of the ground crew, the video shows.

Frontier Airlines and Trenton-Mercer airport did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
