A woman who got dragged for bringing a big box of Chipotle takeout on her flight says she'll bring food on a plane again — but she's 'not a monster,' so it won't be a tuna sandwich

• Alex Williams was bashed online for eating her Chipotle takeout on a flight.
• But she told Insider that she would still bring her own food on future flights.

A woman who got bashed online for tucking into her Chipotle takeout on a flight told Insider she'll still bring food on board a plane again.

Alex Williams filmed a TikTok video of herself on August 10, showing off a box of Chipotle wrapped in a bag. Williams explained in her video that she did this because she "didn't want to pay 86.50 for an airport salad."

"I'm in a middle seat and I know for a fact someone is about to hate me," Williams wrote in her video.

"Im so sorry this plane is about to REEK #chipotle," read Williams' video caption.

Williams told Insider that she was nervous about eating her Chipotle takeout on her flight from San Diego to San Francisco.

"After feeling out my surroundings, I felt like it was a safe enough space, so I brought out my Chipotle. As soon as I did, the girl to my right brought out a pre-made Trader Joe's salad and started munching it down," Williams said.

"It was a very 'girls supporting girls who eat outside food on planes' moment. We were also in the very last row of the plane, so I feel like anything goes back there," she continued.

Williams' TikTok video drew flak from some people, who felt that she was being insensitive to the other passengers.

"Why not eat it before the flight? Eating a full in meal in the poor section of the plane is next level disgusting and inconsiderate," one person on TikTok wrote.

But Williams has no regrets about bringing her takeout onto the flight. She told Insider that she would "absolutely" bring her food on board again — but would be mindful to pack items that don't stink up the whole plane.

"I'm not a monster, I'm never going to bring a tunafish sandwich," Williams said. "However, I think it's completely respectable to bring any food equivalent to what you can get inside the airport onto the plane. Such as a turkey sandwich, a chipotle bowl, a burrito etc."
