A SpiceJet flyer on a flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru faced an uncomfortable situation when they were trapped in the airplane’s lavatory throughout the journey. The airline has apologized to the passenger and is said to have offered a refund following the incident, which has provided a source of amusement for many.
The passenger was released after the flight landed in Bengaluru. Ground staff and engineers were able to open the malfunctioning toilet door. The incident happened on a Monday night. The flight was delayed, taking off from Mumbai at 2:10 AM instead of the scheduled time of 10:55 PM.
The passenger, who was in seat 14D, entered the restroom shortly after the flight began. The door lock failed, leaving them trapped. The crew attempted to resolve the issue, but the door remained locked. As a means of communication, the crew slipped a handwritten note under the door, asking the passenger to remain seated until landing in Bengaluru.
The note from the crew was shared on social media and quickly became popular. Many found the note humorous. The flight landed in Bengaluru at approximately 3:45 AM, and the door was opened by an airport engineer. The airline has issued an apology and expressed their regret.
