Woman accused of vaping on plane blames flight attendant

An estate agent from Hawaii has been accused of vaping on an Allegiant Air flight from Las Vegas to Hawaii - but the woman blamed flight attendant for having a bad day.

Kristin Sharp, 34, was smoking her e-cigarette when she boarded the flight in Las Vegas. She stopped when a crew member asked her to put away the device.

But the passenger started vaping again once the plane took off and witnesses even said she went to the bathroom and smoked there, too.

A flight attendant asked Miss Sharp again to stop, but she has since claimed he was rude and treated her with no manners.

Passengers told police that Sharp had been drunk and belligerent when she confronted the flight attendant. They also said she swore, exposed her breasts to the cabin and then threw a half full drink can at the employee.

Sharp has not been charged for her actions but the investigation is ongoing as officials continue to interview passengers and crew members who were on board at the time of the incident.

During the summer, a video showing a group of rowdy passengers on board a flight from Glasgow to Ibiza went viral.

The footage shows the passengers playing loud music and singing along at the top of their voices. It seems this behaviour is almost a curse of this flight route. As of April this year, Ryanair banned alcohol on all their flights between Glasgow Prestwick and the notorious party island of Ibiza.
