'Entitled' Byron Bay model who held up a delayed Jetstar flight so she could eat oysters blasts the airline as she flies home with Virgin after going on a designer shopping spree in Sydney

A Byron Bay model who held up a Jetstar flight because she left the airport to eat oysters has branded the airline 'S**tstar'.

Ruby Tuesday Matthews, 27, was due to fly from Byron Bay to Sydney on Thursday at 5pm but a technical issue caused the flight to be delayed.

The budget airline asked travellers to stay put while waiting for an engineer, and told passengers the new departure time would likely be about 7.30pm.

But Matthews and her travel companion left the airport to grab a bite to eat at a beachside restaurant, holding up the plane an extra 30 minutes as it waited on the tarmac for the pair to return.

After initially slamming Jetstar for allowing her to be 'bullied' by other passengers, Matthews took to Instagram on Sunday to again call out the airline. 

The outspoken model claimed staff at Sydney Airport demanded they go through her phone before boarding a flight back to Byron Bay.

'So I just went up to the Jetstar desk to complain about what had happened last and the treatment,' she told her 210,000 followers.

'I was just met outside by the manager and airline staff who wanted to go through my phone to make sure that I just didn't film them inside.

'Apparently you're not allowed to film Jetstar staff. Which is f***king kind of crazy when everyone on that plane filmed Jetstar staff 

'Are you f***king off your heads Jetstar?'

Matthews then shared a video of her and a friend holding their Virgin boarding passes while walking through the terminal.

She also posted a photo posing outside Sydney Airport with the caption: 'Smiling because we aren’t flying S**TSTAR @jetstaraustralia'. 

'Came to Sydney with only carry on and leaving with a lot more,' the caption continued, next to a photo of Gucci luggage, a shopping bag from high end fashion house Golden Goose and a large suitcase. 

Matthews also hashtagged oystergate' and 's**tstar'.

The Byron Bay-born beauty was bombarded by dozens of people calling her 'entitled,' prompting her to turn off comments.

Jetstar has been contacted for comment.  

In videos exclusively taken by Daily Mail Australia on last Thursday's flight, frustrated passengers could be heard heckling the single mother-of-two as she boarded half an hour after the plane was due to take off.

Footage showed passengers shouting 'how were the oysters' and 'what a day to be pretty' as she entered the aircraft.

When the plane touched down in Sydney, Matthews wasted no time in calling out Jetstar on her Instagram page, slamming the airline for their handling of the incident. 

She blamed Jetstar for what had happened and told the other passengers to 'grow up'.

'I had a pretty traumatic flight experience, thanks Jetstar, you never cease to amaze me,' she began. 

'I'm sorry but it really was not my fault...we were told it was going to be taking off at 7.45pm, I had not eaten since my smoothie that morning because I had been in back-to-back meetings. 

While most other travellers remained at the terminal and purchased food from the cafe at the airport, Matthews and her travel companion decided to leave the airport to grab a bite to eat instead

'I was like ''f*** this, I'm going to get food out of the airport, it's two hours until our flight takes off, I'm going to go''.

'I walked out, I did not hear the second announcement that apparently said ''do not leave the airport''.

'I didn't hear that, I swear to god, I wouldn't have left the airport, I'm not a d***head, I do have respect for everyone else.'

She claimed she was met with 'very personal comments' when she got on the plane. 

'I was basically bullied by about seven to 10 to 14 people at different times, then they made comments about my children. No Jetstar staff stopped this at any time. I copped it hard for about 15 minutes.

'I was scared for myself because number one, I was by myself...number two, no one else who was later than me copped any abuse, it was just me alone.
