    That’s not gonna fly.

    Along with a surge in post-Covid air travel has also come an unwanted and continuous spat of bad behavior in the skies and airports — we’re looking at you, Crazy Plane Lady .

    The uptick in rowdiness has landed lots of people on the Transportation Security Administration’s “no fly list” — and still more have been privately barred from various airlines.

    Once mostly discussed in relation with obviously heinous acts like attempted terrorism, these days Americans are discovering all sorts of ways to end up being grounded by the government.

    Here are some unrecommended behaviors that can result in having your wings clipped.

    Disruptive and violent behavior

    There have been many similar incidents that compare with the aforementioned “crazy plane lady” that can get a person onto the “no fly list,” according to The Points Guy .

    Getting violent or disrupting air travel is a one-way ticket home with a stop in jail likely on the way as well. Spirit Airlines recently banned two men who brawled as a flight attendant desperately tried to separate them.

    Last year, a bill was put in place to make the process of banning disruptive passengers even easier .

    Since 2020, Delta has also banned around 1,000 travelers since 2020 for this, according to Motorbiscuit.com.

    Acting out and doing silly things, like stuffing your belongings into a pillow case and claiming it’s a carry-on, is also a probable fast track to being banned, an Orlando passenger recently learned.

    Although not a federal offense, airlines are cracking down on the practice of skiplagging .

    It’s when passengers book cheaper flights with a layover with the intention of getting off at the first stop as their true destination.

    USA Today reported that the practice typically violates flight contracts agreed to upon booking a ticket and can result in loss of miles, rewards, and even include a permanent ban from airlines.

    Again, not a TSA issue, however, passengers who have traveled with their pets claim airlines have shadowbanned their furry companions.

    Last year, a Newark Airport passenger said that United Airlines stopped her at the gate.

    They then photographed her little dog and informed her that the four-legged traveler was not allowed on board the airline for life.

    Another New Jersey flyer reported the same of her tiny pomeranian. One man had to leave his cat with family he visited in California because Southwest wouldn’t let the kitty on board.
