A SpiceJet passenger experienced an embarrassing situation on a flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru, spending the flight inside the lavatory due to a malfunctioning door. The airline has offered a refund and apologized. The passenger was rescued after the flight landed in Bengaluru, with ground staff and engineers working to open the jammed door.
The flight, originally scheduled for 10:55 PM, was delayed and departed at 2:10 AM. The passenger, seated in seat 14D, entered the restroom soon after takeoff. The door became stuck, trapping the individual.
As the crew was unable to open the door, they slipped a note under the door, asking the passenger not to panic and to stay seated until the flight landed. The note quickly went viral, with many people finding it humorous. The flight landed in Bengaluru at 3:45 AM, after which the airport engineers opened the door. SpiceJet has offered an apology for the inconvenience.
