Jet2 kicked a grandmother off of a flight after she refused to pay £9 for an 'inedible' tuna sandwich after she claimed it was "soggy" and "cold".Lily Ifield, 79, who was flying from London Stansted Airport to Bodrum in Turkey, was appalled when cabin crew reportedly snapped back, "this isn't a restaurant - it's a plane", before summoning armed officers.

She was removed from the aircraft alongside her daughter on Sunday, November 3.The retired secretary, who had been on a four-day holiday for a family member's birthday, said: "The police were standing at the entrance to the plane, waiting with guns like we were master criminals.

We had no idea what we had done. I was turning round to people, saying 'I think I've been arrested over a sandwich.'"At one point a steward aggressively told her to stop talking, she said: "The steward said, 'will you shut up' he said, 'I don't want you talking'.

I said 'excuse me, I can talk as much as I like'. We were being treated like convicts over a bap."
