This is going back to DJ policy a few years ago, but I'm not aware of it being changed.


So check a bag of C4 go to the Airline lounge drink some free booze for an hour, leave the lounge and board the plane early.

Part way through boarding ask the hostie if she will join you in the mile high club a bit later on!

I expect that gets a involuntary de-boarding and a result the passenger wanted! but not enough to be arrested if he offloads with no fuss. A good policy!
