Nisreen Swedberg is one of two 18-year-old girls who claim they were escorted off a Southwest Airlines flight for being too pretty. Swedberg alleged that she was snubbed when she asked a flight attendant for water. Then the girls got into an argument with another passenger about the length of time he took in the bathroom. Southwest Airlines said the women caused disruption on the flight. Nisreen's friend and traveling partner Sarah Williams made the following statement: "I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls...The flight attendants were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.”
