A New York woman has turned a tedious plane delay into a Twitter soap opera today, live-tweeting the very public break-up happening across the aisle from her as she waited for her plane to take off.

"This guy on the plane just broke up [with] his girlfriend and she's SOBBING," Twitter user Kelly Keegs tweeted, before transcribing several overheard snippets of their conversation.

Guy: "is this really a surprise? Are you seriously surprised at this information?"

This is the greatest plane delay I've ever had

Just when things seemed to be dying down there was a twist in the tale, with Keegs tweeting "What the f***? Now they're making out. I'm not kidding."

An intriguing denouement to the saga was tweeted once the plane landed, but the couple's current relationship status remains a mystery.

We took off, they immediately ordered SIX vodkas and Bloody Mary mix for the 50 minute flight and chugged them in silence between makeouts
