   Passengers who practice 'self-upgrade'

   A United Airlines flight from New York Newark to Tel Aviv turned around back   
   to Newark on Thursday night after a 1.5-hour flight. Two Economy passengers   
   had taken a seat in Business Class and subsequently refused to leave their   
   luxury seats.   
       
   The two Israelis thought they could sit fine in Business Class, since the   
   Boeing 787 was still largely empty, and refused to show their ticket to the   
   cabin crew during a check. Eventually a conflict arose, after which the   
   captain decided to turn back.   
       
   After nearly three hours of flying, the Boeing landed again in Newark. There,   
   the other 121 passengers were accommodated in hotels and/or rebooked on other   
   flights. Strangely enough, the two Israeli troublemakers have not been charged.
