A passenger aboard a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru faced an embarrassing situation when they were stuck in the airplane lavatory for the duration of the flight. The airline has issued an apology and offered a refund. The passenger was eventually rescued after the flight landed at Bengaluru airport, where ground staff and engineers were able to open the locked toilet door.
The event unfolded on a Monday night flight that was delayed by two hours. A passenger seated in seat 14D entered the restroom shortly after takeoff and was unable to open the door. The crew attempted to assist, but the lock was jammed. The crew then wrote a note, slipped under the door, instructing the passenger to remain seated until the plane landed in Bengaluru. The note and the situation quickly gained traction on social media, with users finding the situation humorous. The flight landed around 3:45 AM. The airline has since expressed regret over the incident and apologized to the passenger.
