American’s Far Fetched Claims to the DOT About China

Ryanair Rewards Passenger For His Dramatic Racist Tirade

There's an apocryphal story that's made rounds on the internet since at least the late 1990s about a racist passenger complaining about being seated next to someone they deemed undesirable and demanding a flight attendant do something about it.

That happened on Ryanair on Friday -- but this time the story ends very differently. And it's deplorable.
