Nine 'posh' US teens busted at Heathrow Airport after causing drunken disturbance on chaotic Virgin flight

This week, nine affluent American teenagers were apprehended at London’s Heathrow Airport following a disruptive incident on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Los Angeles, as reported by various sources.

The mischievous group of 17 and 18-year-olds was on a school excursion on Monday when they reportedly used forged IDs to purchase alcohol, which they then discretely brought on board their 10-hour flight from California, according to the London Standard.

The adolescents embarked on a reckless drinking spree mid-flight, “shouting and causing chaos” at an altitude of 30,000 feet, much to the dismay of their teachers and the airline staff who struggled to manage the raucous situation.

“These posh kids couldn’t handle their booze,” a source told The Sun.

“The kids bought booze before the flight, then smuggled it on.”

Metropolitan police removed the teens – believed to be from affluent families – from the plane and arrested them upon landing in London, the British outlet reported. 

No charges were reportedly filed, but officials opted instead to revoke their electronic travel authorizations – barring them from entering the country and attending their planned summer camps across Europe. 

The airline initially refused to fly the troublemakers home – but later split them up on separate flights to various US cities, putting their final destination in their parents’ hand, the outlet reported. 

“We’d like to apologize to customers for any inconvenience caused following the arrival of the VS008 at London Heathrow on 14th July, due to disruptive passengers being apprehended by the authorities,” a Virgin spokesperson told People.

“This is now a matter for the police, and we are unable to comment any further. The safety and welfare of our people and our customers is always our top priority.”

Virgin did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
