These two stories are so unbelievable, I didn’t want to wait until the end of the day to publish them.

 

So, there you are sitting on your plane waiting for it to refuel when the airport tells you that the passengers must come up with 24,000 British Pounds or they and their luggage will be removed from the plane. It seems the airline hadn’t paid its airport fees because there was no money. The passengers were bussed to the terminal and escorted to the ATM machines.

 

Pilot uses toilet. Gets locked in. Well, the rest, sounds more like a comedy sketch than reality. You have to read the story. If you’ve flown at all in the last few years, you’ll just shake your head and smile.
