Two women were removed from a British Airways flight at Heathrow after an altercation reportedly provoked by a Make America Great Again (Maga) cap.
The incident occurred on Saturday as the women, aged 40 and 60, were preparing to board a flight bound for Austin, Texas.
Witnesses said that one woman took offence at her fellow passenger’s red Maga hat, worn by supporters of the former US president Donald Trump, and asked that it be removed, the Sun reported.
Punches were allegedly exchanged between the two women, both booked to fly in premium economy, before they ended up squaring up to one another in the cabin. When the captain called for assistance, police arrived at the scene to escort the passengers from the aircraft.

Protip: when you’re on an airplane, the pilot will consider “can I keep everyone safe”.
If no, they will have whomever removed they deem necessary to proceed safely.
You have 0 say in this decision. The decision will not be reversed. Causing a scene will make it worse for you (think no-fly).
On a plane? Pipe down. STFU. Get to your destination.
Then, after you get to your destination, punch a Nazi or two.
Wait are you saying I’m not special?

On most carriers this is code for “coach, but it’s an exit row so we’ll charge extra for the legroom.”
