AN air stewardess was arrested after she allegedly harassed a passenger while drunk at 30,000ft.
The TUI cabin crew boss — in her 50s — kept flicking the man’s ears during a transatlantic flight, it was claimed.

She was nicked and handcuffed by cops when her flight from Heathrow landed in Barbados.
The mum of three — who had been boozing for hours — was not in charge of that flight’s cabin crew.
She was out of uniform and flying to the Caribbean on a Virgin Atlantic plane to start a new assignment for Tui.
But she was still on duty, according to her company’s rules.

The woman refused to stop her “abhorrent” harassment and behaved obnoxiously during the ten-hour flight, it is alleged.
A source said: “She has worked as a crew member for a lifetime. It was extraordinary to see her lose her mind.
“She was drunk and disorderly — repeatedly flicking the ears of a male passenger who issued a complaint.”
The woman later appeared in court.
Virgin Atlantic said: “We’d like to apologise.”
TUI suspended her but would not comment.
