DALLAS, TEXAS: Tiffany Gomas, the woman who became an internet sensation for her infamous airplane outburst in July, is making Halloween extra exciting this year.
According to DailyMail.com, the 'crazy plane lady,' as she's been affectionately dubbed, is giving away free first-class flight tickets to individuals who can put together the best 'crazy plane lady' Halloween costume.
Gomas, a 38-year-old marketing executive from Dallas, Texas, captured the public's attention with her memorable airplane meltdown that featured her boldly proclaiming, "That m**********r back there is not real."
Now, in the spirit of Halloween, she's turning her viral moment into a fun and quirky costume contest.
Taking flight with Tiffany: An unconventional Halloween contest
In a video shared on social media, Gomas referenced an inspirational article by the New York Post that featured her as the "not real plane woman." While it's unclear if the contest has any official airline sponsorship, Gomas tagged Delta, United, and Southwest Airlines in her announcement.
She expressed her excitement, saying, "Hey guys, once again the New York Post came for me - so I'm coming for you... Let's have a little fun with it. I wanna see your best rendition of this fit, and I will choose three of my favorite lookalikes, and then we will all choose a winner. The winner will then receive two first-class tickets either on Delta, United, or priority passes on Southwest. Happy Halloween!"
Participants in the contest are encouraged to recreate Gomas's stylish airplane outfit from her viral episode.
She was seen wearing tight ripped blue skinny jeans paired with a snug black cropped tank top. Accessorizing with a $1,900 Goyard bag and flashy gold bracelets, her outfit exuded a sense of glamour that reflected her successful life.
From luxury living to viral aviation incident
Gomas, the head of her marketing firm, resides in a luxurious four-bedroom property valued at $1.6 million, complete with a swimming pool.
To enter the contest, participants are required to post their costumes on social media with the hashtag #TMFINR. The winner will be announced on November 4.
The viral incident unfolded on July 2 on Flight 1009 from Fort Worth to Orlando, Florida. Gomas claimed her relatives had stolen her AirPods, and she began to insist that the airplane was unsafe and wouldn't reach its destination.
As official documents report, she was unwilling to leave the plane, leading to her removal by American Airlines staff following the outburst. Passengers had to deplane and go through security screening again as a precaution, causing significant delays.
TSA personnel also conducted a thorough rescreening of the aircraft. Even after being escorted to a non-secure area, Gomas attempted to re-enter the plane through TSA screening, but law enforcement officers eventually intervened.
Gomas was issued a ticket for criminal trespass notice but was not arrested.
