The Ann Coulter Delta Airlines feud erupted in July 2017 when the conservative commentator launched an extensive Twitter tirade against the airline after being moved from an extra-legroom seat she had specifically booked. Coulter posted photos of the flight crew and the passenger who took her seat, leading to a viral debate about 'public shaming' and airline seating policies. Delta eventually responded by publicly calling her behavior 'unacceptable' and 'unnecessary' while refunding her the $30 seat fee. The incident became a popular meme template used to mock entitled celebrity behavior, airline customer service struggles, and the chaos of modern air travel.
