You have probably heard that some people might be asked to leave the plane if they do not follow some certain rules. Sometimes we, passengers, are to be blamed for the delay.
In order to have a smooth journey, please follow all instructions and do not break the laws. There are a lot of cases when the custom officer refuses to let you in unless you obey the regulations of the air company. Some of the rules we are very well aware of. For instance, you are always informed that you must not carry guns, explosives or inflammable liquids in your hand luggage. It gets on our nerves when we know that our flight will be delayed for some reason. But here are some of the quite unusual reasons that once prevented people from having a flight:
1. A lady with a piglet
Some pets, if not most, are allowed to be taken on board. However, last winter in Connecticut a female passenger was asked by a US airways flight company to leave the plane after other passengers seated by her complained about the noise and smell. The piggy’s weight was around 30 kilos, it took quite some space and disturbed other people sitting around. The flight was delayed and the woman with her four-legged buddy was forced to disembark.
2. Inappropriate T-Shirt
Students are open-minded, carefree and independent. They do not care what others think about them. This might be all right unless you are at the airport trying to board your plane full of people whose attitude is not as progressive as yours. Pay attention to your clothes the next time you decide to fly somewhere. Some mottos and slogans on your clothes might sound too offensive and vulgar. This is what happened to Daniel Podolsky who was flying to Chicago. The young man was wearing a T-shirt that he received at one of the festivals. The “f” word on his shirt was fully spelled out which sounded too insulting to most of the people around. The student was asked to change his shirt, but the guy refused to obey. The airport workers did not allow the traveller to enter the plane. Podolsky had to take another flight to Chicago only after he agreed to change his shirt. Wearing the shirt beneath a jacket would have solved the conflict. The point was to cover the slogan so that others couldn’t see it. As you can see, even such a small thing can spoil the flight.
