A British man has been fined after he raged at cabin crew when he was told he couldn’t have a bacon sandwich on a flight home.
A TUI passenger who flew into a rage because he couldn’t have a bacon roll on board has been fined £230 ($298).
Ronald James left a crew member in tears on the fight from Palma to Exeter in April after shouting and poking his finger.
Exeter Magistrates’ Court heard that the 68-year-old had promised the snack to his granddaughter, who he was travelling with.
When Mr James was told there weren’t any bacon rolls on the flight, prosecutor Lyndsey Baker said he began intimidating crew members.
Mr James – representing himself – told the court: “We had no breakfast, my granddaughter had been pushing for something to eat, and I said wait until we are on the plane.”
“I was not a happy customer. I wish I had not been on the plane and I wish it had not run out of food,” he added.
