JAKARTA - A passenger provoked another passenger's anger by causing a Jetstar flight to be delayed. Imagine, when the plane was about to take off, he was instead enjoying sitting in a restaurant eating oysters.
Ruby Tuesday Matthews, an influencer, did not wait at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport at New South Wales airport when his flight to Sydney was delayed for 2.5 hours. Instead, he went out to dinner at a beachside restaurant with a friend. The mother of two even recorded the moment when they enjoyed her seafood dinner.
Ruby's flight was rescheduled at 18:20 and airport staff had to call the model to return to the gate. Ruby and her companion returned to the airport 30 minutes after the plane was about to take off, which angered fellow travelers.
In a video published on the Daily Mail, they booed fellow passengers who shouted "how are the oysters" and "what a day to be beautiful" at them.
The Instagram star defended himself and said it was an "innocent mistake".
He said he did not hear the announcement and later blamed Jetstar staff for their response to the matter.
Ruby also pointed out that the other passengers returned to the plane even later than him.
In an Instagram rant, Ruby said: “I had a pretty traumatic flight experience, thanks Jetstar, you never cease to amaze me.
“Sorry, but it's not my fault… we were told the plane would take off at 7:45 p.m., I haven't eaten since my smoothie that morning because I've been in consecutive meetings.
"I was like 'fuck it, I'm going to find food outside the airport, it's two hours until our flight takes off, I'm leaving'.
“I went out, I didn't hear the second announcement which turned out to say 'don't leave the airport'.
"I didn't hear it, I swore, I wouldn't leave the airport (if I heard it), I'm not a jerk, I have a lot of respect for other people."
Although Ruby described the ordeal as "traumatic", she continued to find it funny.
One day after her delayed flight, she went out to eat oysters again with a friend in Sydney.
He mischievously branded the incident "#oystergate", likely to spark back outrage from critics.
