A SpiceJet flyer faced an embarrassing situation aboard a Mumbai to Bengaluru flight when a faulty toilet door trapped him for the flight’s duration. The airline has apologized and reportedly offered a refund. The situation has generated a buzz online.
The passenger was finally freed after the plane landed and ground staff were able to open the door. The incident occurred after a delayed take-off on a recent Monday night. The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 10:55 PM, eventually left Mumbai at 2:10 AM.
The passenger, seated in seat 14D, entered the restroom shortly after the flight took off. The door became jammed, leading to the confinement. The crew tried to unlock the door but were unsuccessful. To provide some comfort, the crew wrote a note, slipped it under the door, and instructed the passenger to remain seated until the flight landed in Bengaluru. The note quickly circulated online, leading to widespread amusement and engagement.
