A recent social media post has gone viral after a woman received an unsettling message while waiting for her flight. The user, identified as @kir.a.lo, shared the incident on her account with the caption: “Why are men? #creeper #creepy #greenscreen #ichoosethebear,” accompanied by the sound “original sound – kirsten.” The message read, "I saw your number on your luggage tag."

In other aviation news, despite opposition from unions and consumer groups, San Antonio is expected to secure a new non-stop flight to Washington’s National Airport.

Meanwhile, an incident involving a passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight has gained attention. The man was removed from the flight due to what has been described as a childish reaction to a delay.
