Man on Mumbai-Bengaluru SpiceJet flight stuck inside toilet for entire journey

In an unusual turn of events, a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru made headlines on Tuesday when a male passenger found himself unexpectedly stuck inside the aircraft's lavatory for over an hour. The ordeal unfolded after the seat belt sign was turned off following takeoff from Mumbai.

The passenger, who ventured to the restroom after the initial ascent, encountered a malfunction with the lavatory door lock, leaving him confined until the plane touched down in Bengaluru. The airline, SpiceJet, promptly issued a statement expressing regret over the incident and assured that the stranded passenger received assistance throughout the duration of the flight.

"On 16 January, a passenger unfortunately got stuck inside the lavatory for about an hour on SpiceJet flight operating from Mumbai to Bengaluru, while the aircraft was airborne due to a malfunction in the door lock.
