Two passengers aboard a flight from Singapore to Australia got into a fistfight over the lack of space in an overhead baggage compartment.
On man was so angry he punched another passenger and had to be separated by airline staff, a story by News.com.au said. "When there is no room above their seat, they take the space above someone else's and people don't like it when these turkeys do that," aviation expert Ben Sandilands told News.com.au.
The victim was relocated to another seat, the story said, and the plane continued to Australia where Singapore Airlines is working with Australian police. Industry officials warn that the incident of "air rage" may be the first of many as airlines start charging for checking in luggage.
