Nine 'posh' US teens busted at Heathrow Airport after causing drunken disturbance on chaotic Virgin flight

This week, nine affluent American teenagers were detained at London’s Heathrow Airport following a disorderly incident on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Los Angeles, various sources reported.

The misbehaving group, comprised of 17 and 18-year-olds, reportedly used fake identifications to purchase alcohol before sneaking it aboard their 10-hour flight from California. The chaos erupted during a school trip on Monday, according to the London Standard.

During the flight, the teens embarked on a raucous drinking spree, behaving wildly by screaming and causing chaos at 30,000 feet. Alarmed teachers and the flight crew struggled to manage the tumultuous scene.

“These posh kids couldn’t handle their booze,” a source told The Sun.

“The kids bought booze before the flight, then smuggled it on.”

Metropolitan police removed the teens – believed to be from affluent families – from the plane and arrested them upon landing in London, the British outlet reported. 

No charges were reportedly filed, but officials opted instead to revoke their electronic travel authorizations – barring them from entering the country and attending their planned summer camps across Europe. 

The airline initially refused to fly the troublemakers home – but later split them up on separate flights to various US cities, putting their final destination in their parents’ hand, the outlet reported. 

“We’d like to apologize to customers for any inconvenience caused following the arrival of the VS008 at London Heathrow on 14th July, due to disruptive passengers being apprehended by the authorities,” a Virgin spokesperson told People.

“This is now a matter for the police, and we are unable to comment any further. The safety and welfare of our people and our customers is always our top priority.”

Virgin did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
