Published: December 27, 2007
MIAMI - A coach passenger who refused to leave a first-class seat caused an American Airlines flight to make a diverted landing at Miami International Airport.
Airport officials say Flight 838 left Miami for Jamaica at 6:38 p.m. Tuesday, but the plane returned to Miami about 30 minutes after takeoff.
An airline spokeswoman says a flight attendant asked to see the boarding pass of a passenger seated in first class. The coach passenger refused to return to his assigned seat, so the plane returned to Miami.
Police boarded the plane and interviewed the passenger. No charges were filed, but the passenger did not reboard the flight.
The plane took off for Montego Bay at 7:56 p.m.
