A SpiceJet passenger’s flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru took an unexpected turn when the individual was stuck inside the lavatory for the entire flight. The airline has apologized and offered a refund. The unusual circumstances have been widely shared online.
After the plane landed, the passenger was released from the lavatory by ground staff and engineers. The incident occurred on a Monday night. The flight was delayed by two hours and took off from Mumbai at 2:10 AM, despite its initial scheduled departure time of 10:55 PM.
The passenger, seated in seat 14D, went to the restroom shortly after takeoff. The door malfunctioned, preventing him from exiting. The crew attempted to open the door but were unable to. They provided the passenger with a handwritten note through the door, urging him to remain seated until arrival in Bengaluru. The note quickly went viral, prompting humorous reactions and commentary across the internet.
