A couple involved in a ‘shouting match’ at Jieyang Chaoshan International Airport in Shantou has hit back at queue-cutting accusations.
Stomper Alex earlier shared a video of the Dec 18 incident, showing two men in a heated argument while checking in for Scoot flight TR129, which was departing for Singapore at 2.55pm.
“The first guy had already done the passenger check-in and was queueing for the luggage check-in at the side,” Alex recounted. “The other guy came about 30 minutes later and wanted to do the luggage check-in and squeezed into the queue. Both parties ended up squeezing each other and the quarrel happened.”
However, the second man’s wife, AL, tells Stomp that this is “only one side of the story” and would like to shed more light on what happened.
AL and her husband had purchased Scoot’s BoardMeFirst service, which allows priority check-in and priority boarding privileges.
She said: “We reached the check-in counter one hour before 12.55pm and were told that we were only able to check in at 12.55pm.
