A woman dressed as an air stewardess sparked chaos on a Ryanair flight from London Stansted to Ibiza when she began dancing wildly in the aisle. The hen do passenger, heading on a pre-wedding holiday, was filmed boogying up and down the cabin, dropping down in front of unimpressed travellers.
Passengers React as Dancing Escalates
The bizarre footage, captured by a fellow traveller who wished to remain anonymous, shows the woman's energy becoming infectious. A man dressed as a pink Power Ranger soon joined the dance, as other passengers crowded the aisle in disbelief. The filmer claimed cabin crew struggled to contain the situation, repeatedly turning on the seatbelt sign—which the group ignored.
Despite some passengers slamming the behaviour, the traveller who recorded the clip said she “laughed” for the entire journey. The video, taken in June, quickly went viral, amassing over 3.2 million views and more than 279,000 likes online.
Social Media Divided Over Antics
Many viewers were unimpressed. One commenter wrote: “As a cabin manager, I would never allow this.” Another added: “As a flight attendant, this is my nightmare.” A third questioned: “Why is this allowed?”
However, some defended the woman. One person said: “She's a vibe but as cabin crew this would absolutely annoy me. Only because an Ibiza flight isn't long and the amount of work we need to do before takeoff and landing is overwhelming as it's always a rush.” Another added: “If you don't like this then the Ibiza flights ain't for you.”
Ryanair Policy Change Amid Controversy
The incident comes as Ryanair changed its family seating policy following an investigation by Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). The airline now offers adults “free of charge” seats next to their children after check-in, provided they sit at the rear of the plane. Ryanair had previously described the CMA investigation as “bogus.”
According to Ryanair: “Families opting for this random allocation of seats beside each other are likely to be seated towards the rear of the aircraft cabin, as front rows tend to be reserved and sell out first.” Families who prefer to select seats during booking can secure front-row seats by paying a reservation fee.
