Is this for real..???
|
I don't really see how it may be ground handling fault...
Cabin crew missed her when flight was disembarking, cabin crew missed the head count (do they do it?) when flight was boarded. I think there is something else to this :suspect: |
Involuntary 18-hour round trip on PIA
Sleepy passenger goes on 18-hour round trip after missing stop
French woman flies from Lahore to Pairs - as intended - but sleeps through turnaround and ends up in Lahore again. :ugh: |
Hasan said PIA were investigating the incident and the French subcontractor responsible for passenger handling in Paris. "We have put questions to this French firm also about the incident but it is also the responsibility of the passenger to disembark at the destination," he said. "It is a passenger's responsibility to check about the destination and disembark when the plane arrives at the particular airport." |
Does she still get frequent flyer miles, or did the fact that she ended where she started (and thus displacement = 0) cancel the miles?:}
|
At least on the outward trip from OPLA to LFPG, the flight stopped over at LIMC. One wonders how she could have slept through two pre-landing seat belt checks, too?
|
Waking up in Lahore again sounds more like a nightmare :eek:
|
I have sat next to a french lady on a long haul. First bar service she hammered back 2 pills with a vodka and you couldn't move her for 10 hours just wouldn't wake up. She didn't move once. Seemed a very easy way to get DVT to me.
Aparently its not uncommon. Stoned out of there minds for the whole trip. |
So no cleaners on turn round either...?

Seems a bit fishy to me. The article names the woman as Patrice - that is a man's name in French.

Lahore would be the only place I would go to |

She probably fell asleep late in the flight and woke up after they had departed.
|
Don't they usually do a headcount before departure?

"It depends who is at fault. If it is a mistake by the local firm, they will pay and if the woman herself is responsible than she will have to bear the cost," Hasan said. |

Not quite like that, this flight operates a triangular route Lahore-Milan-Paris-Lahore. Half the pax get off at Milan but another lot get on. Remainder get off in Paris but the Milan boarders, probably fast asleep and some not speaking the same language as the cabin crew, stay on board.

Stilton, I worked in Pakistan for a couple of years and I can assure you if I was to go back there, Lahore would be the only place I would go to. The suburb of Gulberg is one of the most affluent places I have seen. Lahore Fort is beautiful as is Jahangir's Gardens. I would rather be there than some of the arrondisements of Paris, St Denis being one of them. Now if you said Karachi or Rawalpindi, that is another story...... ' Well, I'll be a monkeys uncle. I stand corrected :ooh: |
