A passenger on a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru had an unusual and uncomfortable experience during their journey, spending the flight locked inside the aircraft’s lavatory. The airline has expressed regret and reportedly offered compensation to the passenger. The incident happened when the passenger entered the restroom shortly after takeoff. The door’s lock malfunctioned, trapping them inside. The crew tried to fix the door but couldn’t, so they slipped a note under the door telling the passenger not to panic and stay put until landing.
The flight, which was delayed by two hours, landed in Bengaluru around 3:45 AM. After landing, ground staff opened the door. A photo of the crew’s note has gone viral on social media, with many people finding the situation humorous and sharing their reactions online.
