Ruby Tuesday Matthews has raised eyebrows for complaining about an airplane taking too long to take off – four years after she famously held up a delayed Jetstar flight to indulge in oysters at a fancy restaurant.
The Byron Bay influencer, 29, took to Instagram over the weekend to detail her trepidations while travelling to Bali with her three children, Rocket, five, Mars, four, and Holiday, one.
Posting to her Stories, Ruby shared a close-up photo of her son sitting in the plane looking less than pleased after their flight was delayed twice.
‘Two failed attempts at taking off due to warning lights coming on right before takeoff. Been stuck on this plane for way too long,’ she lamented in her caption.
Ruby later returned to Instagram hours later after finally arriving at her hotel, sharing a photo of herself lying in bed looking sullen as Holiday slept on her chest.

‘Traveling with two kids is a walk in the park. Three is WILD. No words. But we made it to the hotel 4.30am Aus time. The boys think it’s the morning. I’m ruined,’ she complained.
The following day Ruby once again posted an update to her page, sharing a close-up photo of herself lounging by the hotel pool.
‘To all the influencers making traveling with kids look easy – What the actual f*ck. Maybe it’s my two spicy margaritas talking, but that was complete BS,’ she ranted in the caption.

‘Random baby vomit on the plane, no assistance, hours on the tarmac, failed takeoffs, and landing in Bali getting to the hotel at 4 AM with zero sleep today,’ she continued.
The bathrobe entrepreneur compared her experience to a ‘bender’ she ‘couldn’t escape.
She concluded her post on a more positive note, however, writing: ‘On the bright side, the pool is amazing, and the margaritas are strong’.

Ruby’s horrific travel experience comes four years after she made headlines for holding up a Jetstar flight so she could dine on oysters, only to complain when she was heckled by frustrated passengers.
She was supposed to be flying from Byron Bay to Sydney in the afternoon but a technical issue caused the flight to be delayed.
Jetstar asked travellers to stay at the airport while they flew an engineer over from the Gold Coast and told passengers the new departure time would likely be about 7.30pm that evening.

Ruby and her travel companion decided to leave the airport to grab a bite to eat at a beachside restaurant as others ate at the airport.
The influencer later posted a video to Instagram showing her eating oysters with a friend, captioning the footage: ‘Flight delayed f*** my life’.
She kept frustrated passengers waiting on the tarmac, who heckled her as she boarded 30 minutes after the plane was due to take off.
Video footage shows passengers shouting ‘how were the oysters’ and ‘what a day to be pretty’ as she entered the aircraft.
While the pair were enjoying their meal, those at the airport were advised the engineer had arrived sooner than expected and the flight would be boarding at 6.20pm instead.
But passengers were forced to sit on the tarmac as Jetstar tried to trace a group of missing passengers, including Ruby and her mate.
It is understood an employee had to call her to advise her the plane was ready to depart and she needed to return to the airport as soon as possible.
When a passenger asked if the oysters were good, Ruby replied: ‘Yes they were’.
The social media star then argued with the other travellers, telling them it was an ‘innocent mistake’ and that they were being rude.
The influencer later took to social media where she blamed Jetstar for the incident, claiming staff did nothing to help her.
