Aussie teenager exposes flight from hell after plane is overbooked

An Australian teenager had a distressing experience on a flight from Abu Dhabi to Australia after being temporarily removed from the plane due to overbooking. Lily Winward, 19, was told she would be put up in a hotel until a new seat could be arranged, but she was upset because she didn't have a change of clothes to go out in the country where modest attire is expected for women. She also felt harassed by a male passenger and suffered a panic attack. When she was allowed back on the flight, she had to hold a stranger's toddler on her lap for much of the journey. The incident raises questions about the treatment of young female Western travelers by Middle Eastern airlines.
