Locked in: SpiceJet Passenger’s Unwanted Flight in Airplane Bathroom Sparks Online Buzz

An unfortunate event occurred on a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru, where a passenger was inadvertently confined to the airplane’s restroom for the duration of the journey. The door’s locking mechanism failed, trapping the passenger mid-flight. The crew, unable to unlock the door, resorted to communicating with the passenger via a handwritten note passed under the door, urging them to stay put until the flight’s arrival in Bengaluru. The plane was significantly delayed, departing Mumbai at 2:10 AM, and eventually landed in Bengaluru around 3:45 AM. Ground staff were required to forcibly open the lavatory door upon arrival. The airline issued an apology and offered a refund to the passenger. The incident, including the crew’s note, quickly went viral, with netizens expressing amusement and sharing their reactions online.
