A mother and daughter were kicked off a flight after demanding other passengers to give up their aisle seats for them.

Footage of the July 15 flight from Sacramento to San Diego was shared on TikTok and featured the mom and daughter duo threatening other passengers, Daily Mail reports.

The bystander who shared the clip online had dubbed the women 'Karen and Karen 2.0', before revealing that the pair were two of the last people to board the flight, which was already delayed by hours.

The flight was being held by Southwest, which has a first-come, first-served policy, and as the women had arrived late and the plane was full, they couldn't get their desired seats.

When the women asked to sit in the aisle, they were politely told by a flight attendant that it wouldn't be possible because the flight was full.

However, they proceeded to shout at the other passengers in a bid to get their desired seats, which angered the flight attendants.

One told them: "We have families. We have little kids. We can't have people yelling."

It was at this point that the daughter of the duo said that she wasn't yelling, but making an announcement.

The flight attendant said that they were then going to call a supervisor, and the woman's daughter said that her mother was going to grab, scream and cry.

The duo was then approached by another flight attendant who said that they would be removed from the flight if they didn't stop their behavior.

The TikTok cut to footage of the mother, who had managed to convince another passenger to give up their seat.

The women's threats were described as "unsafe" by a third flight attendant, at which point they were taken off the flight after delaying it for an hour.

Unsurprisingly, the other passengers began to cheer.

Reacting to the footage, which has been viewed almost half a million times, one TikTok user wrote: "Wait what freaky kind of plane doesn't have assigned seating?"

While a third added: "If it's so important to have an aisle seat they should have flown an airline where you can reserve your seat [sic]."

A fourth then joked: "The poor guy's face in front of them knowing he's gonna be an extra in 'Karens gone wild: airport edition.'"
