For passengers on most budget airlines, it’s considered a perk if the airline gives you a complimentary snack during your flight. But for one woman, that mid-air snack led to medical injuries — and she’s demanding that the airline pay up.
A recent lawsuit against JetBlue centers on a woman who claims she cracked a tooth on an extremely hard ice cream sandwich served during a flight. Kiara Quinonez, a New Jersey resident, alleges that the airline provided her with a “frozen solid” ice cream sandwich while flying from New York to Paris. When she tried to eat it, she fractured one of her front teeth, which required dental treatment. Quinonez is seeking an undisclosed amount from the airline, claiming it caused her “pain, suffering, and mental anguish” due to the cracked tooth and subsequent emergency dental surgery she underwent immediately after landing at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. The legal documents have not been made public, but were obtained by People Magazine.
