Earlier this week, Graham McTavish flew from New Orleans to Victoria, B.C., to appear at a fan convention, but his experience in the air was not a good one.

In fact, the former Outlander star took to Twitter to blast the flight crew on the “rubbish” flight for being “just plain rude,” making “a bad experience worse” when his flight from Chicago to Vancouver was delayed.

Most shocking, however, are the Scottish actor’s claims that members of the crew on his New Orleans-Chicago flight were “making jokes about dogs in the overhead,” just days after a puppy died during a United flight after a flight attendant ordered a passenger to put the puppy, travelling in a TSA-approved carrier, in the overheard bin.

People reached out to McTavish’s rep for comment, but has yet to receive a response.
