“Crazy airplane lady” Tiffany Gomas recreated her now-iconic in-flight collapse as she prepared to fly again after what she called the “worst moment” of her life.
Gomas, 38, was flying to visit her family on holiday in July when she lost her mind due to an “altercation” on the flight, which she said was the “worst moment” of her entire life.
She returned to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to fly for the first time last week, just three months after her public breakdown.
“I was a brat,” said a chastened Gomas. “I feel terrible for everyone who was on that plane.”
As she flew to New York, she entertained the cameras by recreating the famous finger wag from the first flight.

However, she tried not to think about her viral breakout during the flight.
“I try to block it out completely,” she said, jokingly celebrating as the plane landed without incident.
Gomas made it clear she made a mistake when she insulted complete strangers in July.
“I should be able to control my emotions, but that wasn’t possible at that moment,” Gomas told Inside Edition.
Making fun of herself, Gomas said she “still doesn’t know” where her infamous Airpods are.
Gomas spoke out about the incident for the first time last week.
The Dallas marketing executive previously told Inside Edition that when she said the other passenger was “not real,” she meant it as a figure of speech and meant “he’s not real.”
Gomas revealed that she stayed at home for over four weeks following her nervous breakdown.

The internet sensation spoke out on the Pardon My Take podcast last week and explained the background to the incident. She claimed she had become involved in a “minor altercation” with another passenger and that “it got out of control”.
“I stayed at home for over four weeks because I was so ashamed and embarrassed that I didn’t want to go out in public,” Gomas told Inside Edition.
Asked what triggered the sudden outburst, Gomas said: “I had an argument and had a strong feeling that I had to get off the plane.”
She explained that she believed other people on the flight were in danger “due to the altercation” – but she couldn’t say more for “legal reasons.”
Since her episode, Gomas has proven that she has a good sense of humor. “I got through the whole thing laughing at myself,” she said.
As she watched the viral video of her breakdown, she joked: “I can’t hear that voice.”
The star of the famous video said: “I’m actually a big homebody” as she showed Inside Edition her luxurious Dallas home – complete with a stunning home office and a cinema.
But despite describing herself as a “housewife,” she said, “I love traveling – just not on American Airlines,” because American Airlines banned her from flying after the incident.

“It wasn’t my best moment… it was actually a terrible moment.” Absolutely shameful. “How terribly humiliating,” she said

“It wasn’t my best moment… it was actually a terrible moment.” Absolutely shameful. “How terribly humiliating,” she added.
She previously explained her unwillingness to talk about the issue by saying, “The reason I probably haven’t spoken out yet is because it’s so vile.”
Gomas recently organized a Halloween costume contest that offered free first-class flights for the best Crazy Plane Lady outfit.
Gomas uploaded a video to X (formerly known as Twitter) in which she referenced a New York Post Halloween costume inspiration article that featured the “not real airplane woman.”
Gomas has been amused by the memes inspired by her plane escape. The marketing manager is pictured with a group of friends

It’s unclear whether the marketing genius’ costume contest was sponsored or associated with a specific airline, but she tagged Delta, United and Southwest Airlines in her social media post.
She said, “Hey guys, once again the New York Post has come for me – so I’m coming for you… Let’s have some fun with this.”
“I want to see your best interpretation of this fit and I’ll pick three of my favorite lookalikes and then we’ll all pick a winner.”
“The winner will then receive two first class tickets on either Delta, United or priority passes on Southwest. “Happy Halloween!”
The Halloween “costume” would be based on Gomas’ stylish airplane outfit that she wore at the time of her episode.
Gomas opted for tight, ripped blue skinny jeans for the flight, which she paired with a very tight black cropped tank top.
