As 24-year-old Beth Evans and her boyfriend, 26-year-old Joshua Moran, boarded their Emirates flight to Dubai, Beth remarked that she had period cramps.
It was a tiny remark, akin to saying “the air-con in this plane is way too cold” or “I hope we get the whole row to ourselves”.
But a flight attendant overheard Beth’s complaint, and within moments of the couple sitting down and fastening their seatbelts, they were asked to disembark the plane.
According to The Sun, Beth had scored her pain a “one out of ten” and said she was more than happy to deal with the cramps during the seven-hour flight from Birmingham Airport in the UK.

That's crazy, and yet during the 13 hour flight I took last week there was an elderly woman behind me who sounded like she was dying. Her cough was so terrible I don't know how she survived the flight. Another woman nearby coughed nonstop the 13 hours, but at least she had a mask. Why were they allowed to board?
Vital information missing: how did she "remark" she had period pain? What did she actually say? If her "remark" was more colourful/descriptive than just a mild observation, I can see exactly why she was disembarked.
