Terror in the Sky Club.
No refund? No problem. A pair of passengers exacted revenge on Delta Airlines over a flight delay by pillaging the airline’s VIP lounge — loading up on free food, emptying the hand sanitizer, and other brazen antics.
A video of their controversial “compensation”-collecting scheme has racked up over 600,000 views on TikTok.
“POV: Delta doesn’t compensate for thousands of dollars lost from delaying our flights for days so we gonna get it back in the Sky Club,” boasted content creator Kyle Philippi in the caption to the clip. “This will set them back.”
It’s yet unclear which flights the influencer was referring to.
However the clip appeared to coincide with last week’s Microsoft crash, which forced Delta to cancel thousands of flights, and affected around half a million passengers, the AP reported.
The ensuing footage starts with Philippi and a fellow hellion piling their plates high with a Caligula-esque spread of complimentary vittles at the aforementioned lounge.
The lounge looters then proceed to pour their free wine in the trash, pilfer the Sky Club’s magazines, and squeeze all of the hand sanitizer out of the dispenser.
The clip concludes with a fully clothed Philippi running the water in the lounge’s shower sans bathing and emptying the shampoo and soap onto the floor.
Shockingly, the TikTok commentariat overwhelmingly supported the duo’s supposed reparational rampage with many praising Philippi as if he were the Spartacus of airline delays.
One fan wrote, “I won’t lie pouring the wine out went hard.”
“This is the level of petty we strive for,” praised another of Delta’s alleged comeuppance.
A third gushed, “As a Sky Lounge connoisseur, I am humbled by your greatness.”
“As someone who has been completely wronged by Delta, thank you for your service!” lauded a fourth, to which Philippi replied, “This is for the people.”
The Post reached out to Delta Airlines for comment.
US regulators are currently probing why Delta took so long to recuperate from the global outage.
They also want to know whether their treatment of stranded and delayed flyers violated federal law.
“Our department will leverage the full extent of our investigative and enforcement power to ensure the rights of Delta’s passengers are upheld,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
