Two first class passengers on a flight from LA to Melbourne delayed a plane after having a tantrum and refusing to fly without extra large pajamas.

The Australian couple refused to take another pair from business class and ultimately decided to leave the plane due to the pajama mix up.

A passenger on the Qantas A380 plane, Angela Ceberano told The Herald sun that the entire plane started laughing when the captain made the announcement. ""He said: 'Just to inform you all, the reason we've had the delay is because two of our first class passengers refused to fly on this plane as there was no extra large pajamas on board for them.'"

Apparently the pajama complainer told the crew, "Make sure you tell everyone why we're so late: they didn't have pyjamas for us."

Ceberano added, "In his mind, he thought everyone sympathised with him. If you didn't laugh you would have cried. It was unbelievable."

The flight waited 30 minutes for the passengers bags to be unloaded and then took off, arriving on time in Melbourne.

On Qantas International Flights business-class passengers receive Peter Morrissey pajamas and while first classers get even higher quality pajamas and slippers. A first class ticket from Los Angeles to Melbourne could cost upwards of $10,000 and takes 15 hours.

A Qantas spokesperson didn't elaborate on the incidence and said to The Herald Sun, "Two passengers elected to get off an aircraft just prior to departure in LA overnight. Other passengers were unaffected with the flight touching down in Melbourne this morning on schedule."
