Video of the drama was shared on social media by Marissa Rundell who was on the flight to Syracuse, New York, on February 6.
The 19-year-old – who was travelling with her eight-month-old son Mason – said the woman started shouting and swearing after boarding the aircraft last.
She told the the unidentified woman “slammed” down her bags and starting ranting that it was “f***ing ridiculous” that she had to sit at the back of the plane.
Marissa claims she asked the irate passenger to mind her language around her son, but she ignored her.

When she asked again, the mum claims the woman told her to “shut the f*** up and shove it”.
A stewardess then came over to try and calm the situation, at which point the passenger started to complain about having to sit next to a “crying baby”.
The flight attendant can be heard in the clip offering to seat the woman on the following flight.
But the customer refuses, instead asking for the staff member’s name.
When she replies that she is called Tabitha, the woman can be heard saying: “Thank you Tabitha, you may not have a job, tomorrow.”
At this point the flight attendant turns to someone off-screen and says: “I want this lady off my flight.”

The angry passenger then suddenly changes her tune, apologising and begging to be allowed to stay on board.
But it did no good and she was reportedly forced to leave the plane, according to Marissa.
The young mum said: “She got her things and was again swearing up a storm saying they ill all regret kicking her off the plane.
“I thought it was funny how she was acting like a child throwing a tantrum.”
Marissa hailed the staff at Delta – especially Tabitha – for how they handled the situation.
And social media users were also full of praise for the stewardess for her calmness and professionalism.

Posting footage of the incident on Facebook, Marissa wrote: “This lady thought she was going to be rude to me and Mason now she has no way home today.
“Thank you to the lovely Delta flight attendant for not letting this women bully us.
“Karma is a b****.”
A spokesperson for Delta told Sun Online: “We ask that customers embrace civility and respect one another when flying Delta.
“This customer’s behaviour toward a fellow customer on a flight from New York to Syracuse was not in keeping with those standards.
“We appreciate our flight attendant’s commitment to Delta’s core values and apologise to the other customers on board flight 4017 who experienced the disturbance.”
Last month an Instagram model was kicked off an American Airlines flight after getting into a heated row with the pilot.
And last year a drunk woman was jailed after she lunged at a passenger on a trip to Cancun - forcing the jet to land 2,000 miles away.
Meanwhile this lucky passenger got an entire flight to herself after a booking error, and these are the best and worst seats to choose in economy.
