Meanwhile, more dramatic travel scenes saw an airline passenger travel on the wrong plane.
The Ryanair passenger flying from the UK back to Poland after the holidays ended up 1,000 miles away in Malta after he accidentally boarded the wrong plane – yet staff never said anything.
Pawel Lawreniuk was flying back to Gdansk, Poland earlier from Leeds Bradford Airport earlier this month.
However, the 75-year-old ended up erroneously getting on a plane headed for Malta. Staff did not notice he was on the wrong flight when he boarded the 6.50am flight and he even managed to take his seat, reported The Telegraph and Argus.
Lawreniuk had no idea of the mistake he had made until he arrived and realised he couldn’t get a taxi home from Malta International Airport.
A staff member was overheard telling him: “I am sorry sir but I don’t speak Polish.”
