‘I was kicked off a flight after having a mimosa and a half at the airport bar’

A woman claims she was kicked off her flight after having a drink at the airport, leaving her "livid".

TikTok user Kandace H, @kandace_h, claims she had had a mimosa and a half – that's around 2.25 units of alcohol – at the airport bar in Portland before boarding the Alaska Airlines flight.

A mimosa is a mixture of Prosecco and orange juice – often called a Bucks Fizz here in the UK – and plenty of us have enjoyed one ahead of a holiday.

While being inebriated means you can get refused boarding or be labelled 'unfit to fly', Kandace claims that she was not drunk at the time of the incident.

She described the removal as "completely unacceptable" and noted that she was "utterly embarrassed" by the incident in a TikTok video, alleging that she was asked to de-board her flight to Las Vegas in the US.

"THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! I AM LIVID!" she wrote in the caption on the video, before calling for cabin crew members from the flight to be fired.

She added: "I was BLATANTLY lied on and removed from the plane… UTTERLY embarrassed by your staff!"
