Rodent Spotted in Business Class Cabin on JetBlue Flight

A rodent was seen in the overhead bin on a JetBlue flight, in a video captured by a passenger.

California resident Brittney Brimway said she was flying with her three children from Los Angeles to Turks and Caicos with a layover in New York City.

"I was trying to sleep with my 10-month-old and my 13-year-old son woke me up stating there was a rat in the plane," she said. "I told him no there wasn't, and he insisted I get up to look. So, I did and once I saw it, I yelled at him to record it."

"Our first class with JetBlue had a rat, yes a rat, in the overhead bin," Brimway wrote on Instagram.

JetBlue responded in the comments under the video, writing: "We are sorry to see this."

Storyful has contacted JetBlue for comment.

It was not confirmed what type of animal was on the flight.

The passenger's ticket information showed she was in the airline's Mint business class section.
