Although the UK carriers have forbade smoking for the last thirty years, the couple refused to stop the lighting, even if they warned that they would land on the plane if they don’t.
The angry passengers on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner flight told the New York Post that unidentified cigarettes looked like a couple, which then turned into a fight. “Obviously they were drunk and basically attacked her partner,” a traveler detailed.

The two passengers who caused the turmoil avoided charges of US Customs and Border Protection officials who decided to place them on separate flights.
“This incident included a foreign-foreign flight directed due to an in-flight change between the two passengers.
“In arrival, CBP officers took both people out of the plane. Although no criminal charges were made, the CBP committed two experiments for accelerated lifting.”
