Kelly Ripa Exposes the Revenge She Got on an Aggressive Airplane Passenger

Kelly Ripa opened up about a tense moment during a flight and why she chose to break a long-standing travel rule: never touch someone else's luggage. On the December 2 edition of Live with Kelly and Mark, the 55-year-old host recounted an incident in which she moved another passengers carry-on after feeling that his actions were unusually forceful.

Ripa described boarding a recent flight and noticing that the overhead compartments above her seat were largely empty. I put my carry-on up there, she said, adding that she typically only keeps a backpack under the seat.

However, the calm didnt last. A man seated in front of her soon placed his suitcase on top of her backpack, which Ripa described as aggressive.

Her reaction was swift. She stood up and removed the suitcase from her bag. So I got up and I moved his bag off my bag, Ripa recalled, mimicking the action as her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, nodded. I just thought, Ha! and then I sat back down.

This isnt the first time the couple, married for 29 years, have shared amusing travel moments. Previously, Ripa jokingly suggested the idea of an airport divorce due to their very different approaches to traveling.
