We're Too Pretty For Southwest!
It seems that the "Too Sexy For Southwest" lady has some imitators! Is there room on the Today show and in Playboy for two more? Travel Troubleshooter columnist Christopher Elliott alerts us to this story out of Tampa, Florida
USF student Nisreen Swedberg and friend Sarah Williams claim the flight crew was rude to them from the moment they stepped onto the plane at Tampa International Airport on February 14.Southwest says the women were being disruptive. They claim to have been banned from all future Southwest flights, including their return flight, after being escorted from the plane by the LAPD. No charges were filed.Swedberg said she asked a flight attendant for a bottle of water and was told she could wait until the rest of the flight was served.
"And I patiently waited and then when they came around with water, they skipped me," Swedberg said.
At one point, Williams had to use the plane's bathroom. She saw another passenger in it, and when he hadn't come out 15 minutes later, she knocked on the door.
When he came out, Williams says the man came over to her seat and yelled a profanity at her. Williams admits she yelled a profanity back at him but was puzzled when she says the flight crew only questioned her.
"I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us," she said. "[The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger."
They seem ready for their close up, don't they? See, this is why I always fly wearing a bathrobe and rollers.

You forgot the Bad Consumer tag.
Imagine the chaos if it was an extremly attractive Arab woman!
Yeah, I would like to see the BAC for the two participants. I'm guessing there's some info missing from this story.
You know you would all still hit it.
In my experience the only time anyone acts jealous of a pretty young woman like that is when the pretty young woman wants to convince herself that she's so wonderful that everyone hates her, and starts being a pain in the butt. Too bad being so wonderful isn't why everyone hates her.
Wow. I have a strong feeling the girls were being disruptive and then realized they could ride the wave of fame from the previous lady. "Well, if she got in Playboy, I bet we could, too!!"
Meh.
These girls are morons. And it embarrasses me, as a Floridian, that they are from Florida. But it does not surprise me that they are from Tampa. I know soooo many like that from there.
1) They aren't as hot as they think they are
2) They probably are royal pains in the butt because they think they are so hot
3) The brunette has something growing on her chin (see the video) that likely has hair growing out of it from time to time, as well as a bubble butt
4) And the blonde, throw that girl a sandwich
@LionelEHutz: Oh man! The video is ridiculous. What's with the shoulder exposure and MySpace angle shots?
Their very lives hanging on the thread of privileged testosterone! Who will step forth to save these worthless bags of carbon and water?!?
They went to the restroom TOGETHER ?
Hehehehehe
I call shenanigans on this. It's a little too TV-ready for my tastes.
I think the flight attendants were mean to us because they are jealous of our large firm breasts which you can see on our new website www.[redacted]. For your convenience, we accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Also, consumerist readers may have already quessed that we are both actresses and models. You can contact our agent at attentionwhore@whocares.com.
The blonde can disrupt my flight anytime she wants.
flightes interuptous
Yeah, I'm not buying their story. Sorry.
Without makeup, "woof" probably sums it up best. Whenever I see that much makeup on a woman, I know whats up. "WOOF".
IMHO, they're both trolls
Did she really want to go into the bathroom after some dude had been in there for fifteen minutes?
Um, how did the bathroom dude know it was her? Did he open the door and peek out or something?
Poor babies!
"I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,"
What kind of normal person would say such a thing?
Yeah, that must be it. I always get discriminated against because I'm a mildly attractive man, not because I behave like a complete douche.
Pretty? They're not Super MegaFugly, but they not prize-winning specimens either.
SKANKS!
Man the brunette is ugly. The blonde isn't great, but at least she isn't dogfaced. Wow - maybe they were "discriminating against" because they weren't pretty ENOUGH.
I watched the video and I have to say the brunette would only classify as "pretty" if she had some major photoshop work done to her. Well that or if one was looking at her with some serious beer goggles.
I thought we only discriminated against ugly people? Are these girls complaining that they didn't get the Paris Hilton red carpet treatment? Take that to court and see how far your get. "But your honor, we're too pretty to be treated that way!"
Yes let's all compare our internet manliness by saying how ugly these girls are. I know that I, for one, only date super hot models. Don't you?
yeah, you don't get escorted off a flight and banned from an airline because you "look good". So, whats the real story?
Hey now, some of us are woman and still think they're fugos.
I also forgot all the super hot women that post here. Consumerist is a supermodels-only zone.
"Swedberg said she asked a flight attendant for a bottle of water and was told she could wait until the rest of the flight was served."
They tell everyone that. Bring your own friggin' water.
Oh and I love that she patiently waited. Riiight. I'm sure she had no attitude for the flight attendant when she didn't give her a bottle of water when she first asked .
And they skipped her? Really? Was she paying attention? Did she say anything when the flight attendant was "skipping" her?
"At one point, Williams had to use the plane's bathroom. She saw another passenger in it, and when he hadn't come out 15 minutes later, she knocked on the door.
When he came out, Williams says the man came over to her seat and yelled a profanity at her. "
This makes no logical sense. Why would the man in the bathroom know who knocked on the door if this lady was in her seat? Were they the only 2 people on the plane??
Too pretty to fly?! Geez, these idiots sound like my damn sister - "everyone wants me! everyone is attracted to me!"
Get over yourselves.
I might actually fly SW now since they won't be on anymore of their flights.
Wait, how did the guy in the bathroom know which seat to go to? Why do I get the feeling they being really obnoxious at the bathroom door ... I'd bet the words "did you fall in?" were uttered at some point. Of course, I have no way of knowing.
I don't think they look "bad" but they certainly are trying way too hard to look "good."
@picshereplz: I'm no super model, but I know that, and I don't go around saying "they treated me bad because I'm pretty" When people treat me bad, it's either because they are jerks, or I did something to piss them off, never just because I'm prettier than them, and I don't believe even if I was a supermodel, that they would treat me badly for it, unless I constantly tried to get treated better because I thought I was better than everyone else.
I think that Meg should go undercover on a Southwest flight wearing a short skirt and low cut top and see how the flight attendants react to her since we can count on a fair and balanced report from Meg.
Any other guys agree?
Oh your right@picshereplz: I forgot that being attractive means you are also too intellectually inept to actually read a website like The Consumerist.
They hate me because Im too pretty? Idiot.
I don't think they're ugly girls in any way, but I bet they're annoting, loud, and rude.
If you know the guy was in the restroom for 15 minutes, why knock he's obviously doing something in there. It's not like the restroom on a plane is a cool place to chill for a while.
i really, really doubt their story. We're missing something.
I heard one of them on a Tampa radio show and she sounded like a very self absorbed little daddy's or mommy's girl. Any looks they may have....leave when you here them talk.
Why is this even considered newsworthy? They just sound self centered and there's no evidence in their story that the way they were treated had anything to do with their appearance.
I'd hit it. Oh wait this isn't digg
I wouldn't call them ugly, but I wouldn't really call them pretty, They look like your standard dime a dozen college girls. Walking around the school I went to, you would see 20 girls who look like either of these every 5 mins. The funny thing is, none of us would have looked at them and judged their looks as harshly as we are if they hadn't started bragging. So I guess their bragging made them uglier to most of us. Even funnier is if they are reading this right now, they are probably looking for another blog to post to about how "we posted to a blog, but all the comments were mean because they were jealous of how pretty we are"
As a Floridian, this is yet another example of why I'm ashamed to live here.
But for the record, I live in St Petersburg, which is groovy and hip, as opposed to Tampa, which, well, ain't - as these two young fine examples have proven.
I'd hit it. With a car.
Meh. They sounds pretty self-centered. I would guess they're leaving out some important details.
