‘Averaging a flight every 2-3 days… Happy to be giving you alllll my $$ @virginaustralia,’ she captioned the video.

Forced off: They said the flight attendant refused to help with their overhead luggage and Australian Federal Police officers were soon called onto the plane and had the sisters removed
They said the flight attendant refused to help with their overhead luggage and Australian Federal Police officers were soon called onto the plane and had the sisters removed.
‘We actually already had our bag up in the overhead. The female flight attendant wanted Lisa’s bag spun around,’ they explained in a statement at the time.
‘Lisa asked the attendant if she could help assist her because she couldn’t reach it (we’re only 5’1’). The attendant said it was against company policy. And a lovely man behind us helped instead.

‘Then right before take-off, the flight attendant brought over the manager and pointed us out. He proceeded to lecture us about company policy. We listened and asked for their names.’
The singers said staff refused to give their names and then announced they would be calling police to intervene.

‘Thank you to the beautiful team @virginaustralia who have made this morning’s flying such a kind and calm experience,’ Jess tweeted at the time.
‘Lisa and I had so much apprehension and anxiety flying today after the criminal and morally corrupt experience last week, and the continued lies and defamation we have faced in the media.
‘But everyone from check-in to flight has made today a really supportive and kind experience. We are so grateful.’
