So this couple that were given a soft drink have only now decided they are entitled to something. They've seen the airline go after this girl for £85k (which I think SB explained was to cover the costs they have actually incurred) and this couple have decided that 'some of the money should go to us'.
It's not for the airline to pay them from the losses that they recover. If the airline has a loss then they are entitled to recover it. If these other passengers suffered a loss they are entitled to bring a claim against this girl as well no doubt - for example if they were injured.
The airline are not at fault for this incident. This girl is. The airline has suffered. The passengers have suffered. But it comes across that rather than incur their own legal costs pursuing her for whatever they feel they are entitled to, they feel that they should just be handed something for free from the airline - also a victim here.
What a world we live in.

It will get thrown out. Their claim has no basis at all. |  | | |

No case against the airline here, possibly they could try and have a case against the woman but not convinced it has much merit.
They would have been better off sending a quiet letter to the airline asking for a free flight somewhere due to their help. They probably would have got it. This is just greed.

I know it's not as simple (because there is a contract as it were between the passenger and the airline) but for me this is as tasteless as seeing somebody knocked over by a car, break their legs, rush over to help them, give them first aid, wait until the ambulance arrives …
And then when they get a payout from the drivers insurers for their injuries you knock on the door holding your hand out for a bit of it. | |

I completely agree.
They may well have been acting to defend themselves if this girl was trying to open the cabin door. Without knowing she couldn't do so, they probably did what any of us would have done. It's not like the airline asked them to help and they reluctantly agreed, thinking it was solely the airlines problem.
You could argue the airline should have offered them something as a gesture, like you say a free flight, but at the same time there's no obligation for them to do so.
There will no doubt be a claims procedure they can follow for any losses they may have suffered, which may even have formed part of this £85k the airline is claiming. In which case they may effectively be seeking to be compensated twice! | |

If it were up to me, I'd ban this couple from the airline as well. |  |

They've incurred no losses. They have no entitlement to make any claim. |  |

I hope the airline sues them for the cost of two soft drinks. | |

Well, except the disruption to their holiday but that's not for the airline, that's for their travel insurance.
If they don't have any (which given the article they might not) then that's their fault entirely.

The whole where there’s blame there’s a claim culture sadly.
