Passengers Outraged by Couple's Bizarre In-Flight Meal: 16 Hours of Hard-Boiled Eggs and Broccoli

In October 2025, a viral TikTok video captured the attention of social media users after a woman revealed the unusual in-flight meal of the couple sitting next to her on a 16-hour flight. The poster, who goes by the username @jordan_hel, shared footage of the passengers eating an entire bowl of hard-boiled eggs each, all while watching the TV and seemingly unaware of the discomfort they were causing other travelers.

The video quickly went viral, with over 3.7 million views and 107,500 likes on the platform. While some users expressed outrage at the couple's behavior, others pointed out that eggs are actually allowed on planes, as are other unlikely foods like vacuum-sealed meats, hard cheeses, and even Thanksgiving turkey leftovers.

Despite the strong smell that can be upsetting for some passengers, the article notes that cooked foods, including the couple's unusual meal, are permitted on board as long as they don't include items like high-alcohol liquor, canned food, or fresh fruits and vegetables. The article also highlights that different destinations may have varying rules, so it's important to check local regulations before packing a meal for a flight.

The viral video has sparked a debate among internet users, with some commenting that the couple's actions were "disrespectful and disgusting," while others suggested that the situation seemed "intentional" and questioned who would crave "multiple dozens of boiled eggs and microwaved broccoli" on a plane.
