A furious Thai airport worker stopped a tourist from flying in an angry row over hand luggage that was 0.4kg over the limit.<br /> <br />The Chinese tourist arrived at the boarding gate for his flight home at the Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday (February 13).<br /> <br />But the women at the NewGen Airways boarding gate demanded to weigh his case – which was allegedly found to be 5.4kg. This was over the airline’s 5kg carry on allowance.<br /> <br />Angry scenes followed when the pair were seen standing over the scales as the man refused to pay extra to have the case checked-in and would not remove any of the belongings. <br /> <br />Mobile phone footage from another shocked airport user shows how the Thai desk worker repeatedly yells at the tourist and tells him he will have to stay in the airport.<br /> <br />She’s heard saying: ''If it's not OK, get out. Don’t go. You stay here. I’ve been talking to you for 10 minutes already, why don't you do it?''<br /> <br />Some witnesses blamed the Chinese tourist for causing the argument by not following the weight rules while others accused the worker of being unprofessional.<br /><br />They said the row started when the airport worker refused to let the man board the plane with his overweight case.<br /> <br />However, the airline today apologised for the incident. A spokesman for NewGen Airways said: ''We sincerely apologise for the inappropriate behaviour of our officer. She had been warned and promised to behave thoughtfully.''
