Influencer banned from two airlines after inflating life jacket for a prank

An Australian influencer has been banned from flying with two major airlines after inflating an emergency life jacket during a flight’s safety demonstration in a stunt that went viral. Hugh Lovett, one of four brothers behind the social media group The Lovetts, was traveling on a Jetstar flight from Sydney to Adelaide on October 16 when he decided to pull a prank with the airline’s safety instructions. Unfortunately for Lovett, the joke didn’t land, and he was escorted off the plane by police before receiving a ban from both Jetstar and its parent company, Qantas. The incident comes after ‘looksmaxxer’ Androgenic was kicked off a Jetstar flight following concerns about his appearance after cosmetic surgery.
