Jean Mamakos, a 68-year-old woman from Long Island, is suing United Airlines for $5 million after she spent 3 days in jail following an arrest for attempting to change seats on her flight.
The charge for changing seats on on a plane? Get this: Trespassing
The story is baffling on several levels and garnered enough attention that it was featured on Inside Edition (watch the brief clip next).
I was just saying it as a joke because of the shawna and Anthony switching seats every ride! Lol
This is ridiculous
Don’t they have more important things to do than arrest someone for this nonsense?????
The airline claims it is because of weight and balance issues. I would believe that if they didn’t try to get $109 for the “upgrade”.
Good reason to never fly United.
Once the cabin closes who cares where you sit? As long as you aren’t bothering anyone seriously who gives a floopity flop?
If this is United’s policy you better think twice about flying United.She should sue!
Good i hope she wins!!
If she spent 3 days in jail she did more than trespass. You are not reporting all of the story. You are spreading fear. Was she to stupid to know her own seat? Maybe she should travel with an assistant so that her stupidity doesnt get her in trouble.
They asked me I moved and I have to fly back soon BS. I’D. SUE….
