Ruby Tuesday Matthews, 27, has hit out at the airline, Jetstar, for allowing her to be ‘bullied’ after she was heckled by other passengers for boarding the plane late

Ruby Tuesday Matthews, 27, was due to fly from Byron Bay to Sydney on Thursday at 5pm.

However due to a technical issue flight JQ461 was delayed and passengers were told it would depart at 7.30pm instead.

The airline told passengers to wait in the terminal until an engineer sorted the issue.

But Ruby and her travel buddy left and went to eat some food at a beachside restaurant, the Daily Mail reports.

According to the report, they left other travellers waiting on the tarmac for half an hour until they returned.
