One “intoxicated” American Airlines passenger got a bit too “lit” while traveling to the City of Lights, and diverted the Paris-bound flight back to New York for “disruptive” behavior.
American Airlines Flight 44 had been in the high skies for about an hour on Saturday night when pilots were forced to return to New York because of the rowdy traveler, who was reportedly drunk.
The flight, carrying 271 passengers, landed safely at John F. Kennedy International Airport shortly before 7 p.m., NBC New York reported.
