After hours of aggravated antics, the plane was forced to divert its course.
The Frontier flight 2134 was headed from Philadelphia to Las Vegas, but nearing its final stretch, it decided to land in Denver instead so the women could be removed.
Airline staff repeatedly tried to diffuse the situation, but the two hostile ladies remained ready and willing for a fight.
"You're gonna go to jail...who are you trying to impress," one passenger can be heard yelling at one of the women.

Finally, the wrestling woman were then hauled off the flight by authorities as relieved passengers cheered and clapped.
8NewsNow claimed that the woman in the red tank top had fought with a women she had originally been sat close.
The second woman was moved to another seat to quell the drama.
However, the red-topped woman can be seen growing more vexed, flinging her arms madly and swearing, which caused the other woman engage once-again in the argument.
The Las Vegas resident who captured the whole tussle said it began by being "fairly disruptive".
"So passengers began to tell them to shut up because their behaviour was escalating," the woman, who chose to remain anonymous told KLAS.
After being separated, she reported that their fight continued to escalate as they screamed at each other across the plane, adding that a male passenger was hit in the process.
Once the combative passengers were removed, the flight took off again and finally landed an hour late in the City of Lights.
A spokesperson from Frontier Airlines told The Sun Online: "The evening of July 11, while Flight 2143 was enroute from Philadelphia to Las Vegas, some passengers on board the aircraft became disruptive.
"The flight was deviated to Denver and two passengers who were traveling together were deplaned and met at the gate by law enforcement personnel.
"The flight then proceeded to its final destination of Las Vegas after 67 minutes on the ground in Denver."
It comes as last month chaos broke out on a flight from Malta to Stansted as passengers were forced to separate two brawling men.
