Prosecuting, Christelle McCracken said: “The defendant was heard making strange remarks about coming onto a male passenger because he ‘seemed lonely and miserable’.”
Ms McCracken added: “She grabbed the flight attendant’s hair and continued acting abusively and swearing multiple times.”
The court was told Virgin staff said they had “never experienced behaviour like this at 40,000 feet”.
