Louis Vuitton is one of the most preeminent and expensive brands in the world. People will go to great lengths to keep them clean and pristine. Including the following woman.
The woman adamantly refused to store her handbag under her seat before eventually being removed from the flight. She caused a delay for an hour. The incident happened on a domestic flight within China.
Neither the woman nor the airline was identified.
Airlines generally ask passengers to stove their bags until after takeoff. This woman declined instructions from the flight crew and eventually ignored them until she was forcibly removed from the plane. At one point in a video captured by a fellow passenger, she was seen putting her head down and playing on her phone. The Louis Vuitton accessory was said to be worth $3,000.
It is not known if the bag was considered a pocketbook or a carry-on and met the minimum size standards for the plane.
Many United States-based airlines have new policies regarding bags and other fees.
