A plane journey is no more a luxury but has become a necessity for many. It is just extremely time saving! Also, a sudden boom in tourism industry has increased the connectivity and frequency of flights all around the world. But weird things do happen up in the air and here are the 8 of the weirdest!

Opening the gate

Ever tried opening the flight gate while mid air? Seems impossible and absolutely obnoxious, right? Well, this incident happened in the Go Air Delhi-Pune flight. A first time flyer had to use the washroom urgently. In the urgency, he almost opened the back door of the flight and gave all the other passengers a scare for their life! Thanks to the difference in Air pressure, the gate didn't opened! needless to say, he was detained later!



The Mushroom Saga

What if we tell you a plane had to do an emergency landing due to mushrooms? Believe it or not but it is true. A jar of mushroom soup started leaking on the overhead bin! It dripped onto a man with a severe mushroom allergy and the Ryanair plane flying from Brussels to Dublin had to land in Germany.

Bikini Airlines

How would you like to see pretty hostesses hosting you n bikini in the air? Passengers of Viet Jet were in for a surprise when that happened! The experiment was a hit and saw major rise in the sales of Viet Jet!



E-Cigarette Exploded

An E-Cigarette exploded on a plane at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport in 2016. Luckily no one was hurt but it was a terrible incident!

Celeb Tantrums

Celeb tantrums are nothing new on flights but the French actor Gerard Depardieu made it worse by urinating in front of other passengers. He refused to wait until the plane was in the air to use the bathroom so he relieved himself in a bottle at the back of the plane instead.



The Bad Odour

Bad odour is nothing new in the air. But on one occasion, flight had to do an emergency landing because of it! On one Lufthansa flight to Stockholm, a strange odour forced the plane to land in Copenhagen. Turns out, it was just due to the newly installed carpet!
