Locked in the Loo: SpiceJet Flight Passenger’s Mid-Air Ordeal Sparks Online Chatter

A SpiceJet passenger on a flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru endured an uncomfortable flight after being trapped in the airplane’s restroom. The door lock malfunctioned soon after takeoff, leaving the passenger confined for the duration of the journey. The crew attempted to assist, but the lock remained jammed. They opted to communicate with the passenger via a note passed under the door, urging them to stay put until the flight landed. After the plane touched down in Bengaluru, airport engineers were able to free the passenger. The incident, which occurred on a flight delayed by several hours, has become a talking point, with the crew’s note and the passenger’s experience generating humor and discussion online. The airline has offered an apology and compensation to the passenger.
