JetBlue flight diverted over unruly passenger

Feb 1, 2013, 11:09 PM

DENVER (AP) – JetBlue Airways Corp. says a flight from New York to San Diego was diverted to Denver because of an unruly passenger.

JetBlue says Flight 185 landed around 7:15 p.m. Thursday in Denver, where the woman was met by law-enforcement officers. The airline says 137 passengers were on board, and they were back on their way several hours later.

Passengers tell KMGH-TV (

Passengers say the woman became angry that the man was moved to her premium section without paying extra and she got into an argument with the flight crew. A federal air marshal intervened and the flight was diverted.

Denver police say they aren’t pursuing charges.
