Coach passengers arrested for moving to first class

By at 3:16 pm Saturday, May 6

14 Air Pakistan Pakistan International Airlines passengers awarded themselves an upgrade to the empty first class cabin of a flight from Islamabad to Manchester that was stuck, sweltering on the Islamabad tarmac for four hours. They switched to first class mid-flight and refused to go back to cattle-class. When the flight landed in the UK, they were arrested "on suspicion of endangering the aircraft." Link
