united flight diverted after first-class passenger freaks out over missing caviar
A United Airlines flight from Newark to London was forced to make an emergency diversion to Boston after a furious first-class passenger erupted in a meltdown over missing caviar, sources told The Post. Witnesses say the man, believed to be a high-profile financier, began screaming at flight attendants after being told the airline had run out of the luxury roe, which was listed on the menu as part of the premium cabin's meal service. "He was red in the face, calling it a 'disgrace' and demanding to speak to the pilot," a stunned traveler said. The situation escalated when the man allegedly refused to stay seated, prompting the crew to alert the cockpit. Passengers were left in shock as the plane touched down in Beantown, where police escorted the man off the aircraft. United confirmed the diversion but declined to comment on the specific incident. "We are committed to a safe and respectful environment for all," a spokesperson said. The airline added that snacks and beverages were provided to the remaining passengers before the flight continued to London. This wild drama follows a string of viral in-flight rage incidents.
