A United Airlines passenger recently reported finding insects in their premium class meal. The incident occurred on Flight 2679, with the passenger seated in 4B. The passenger, identified as Alexander, shared an image of the meal on social media, stating: "An office w bugs in polaris class food.. Flt 2679 seat 4B."

In another matter involving United Airlines, the organization StopAntisemitism has raised concerns about the treatment of Jewish passengers. A tweet from the group read: "Did we miss a flight path of yours to Palestine @united? Or do you just not care about your Jewish passengers who are made to feel extremely uncomfortable on your flights? This is now the 5th complaint we've received this week alone."

Meanwhile, other airlines have faced unrelated issues. A janitor at Miami Airport was charged with stealing $60,000 worth of watches from a passenger. This case was highlighted by user @crucker.

Help a girl out and give me Brownie Brittle! #wewantbrowniebrittle"
