Passenger who spent entire flight trapped in plane's bathroom gets note from flight attendant

A plane passenger has revealed the note they received from a flight attendant after getting stuck in the loo for the entire journey.

Flying is hardly all fun and games at the best of times - especially now some people have decided to start 'raw-dogging' on their plane journeys.

However, there's one way which would leave you having the worst flying experience of your life and that's being trapped in a plane's bathroom for the whole duration of it.

It sounds too nightmarish to be true, but unfortunately for one passenger it was their actual reality soon after they took off from Mumbai airport in India earlier this year.

The only lucky part of this story is the SpiceJet Flight SG-268 lasted just over an hour, traveling from Mumbai airport at 2am local time to Bengaluru in India's southern Karnataka state.

However, that didn't mean the experience was any less anxiety-inducing for the unnamed male passenger when they first realized they were locked in.

The passenger had gone to the toilet as soon as the seatbelt signs switched off after takeoff.

But he then could not get out of the toilet due to the door failing to open.

The budget airline said in a statement: "A passenger unfortunately got stuck inside the lavatory for about an hour."

The crew and many others onboard tried to free the man, but nothing seemed to work.

It meant that the passenger was stuck in the toilet for the landing of the commercial aircraft at Kempegowda International Airport.

The man was understandably panicked by the whole ordeal, so a flight attendant decided to slide a note under the door in an attempt to reassure him.

And it didn't take long for the note to go viral following all the drama.

"Sir we tried our best to open the door, however, we could not," it began.

"Do not panic. We are landing in a few minutes, so please close the commode lid and sit on it and secure yourself. As soon as the main door is open, an engineer will come. Do not panic."

And that's exactly what happened as the plane landed, with two engineers boarding and breaking down the door once it was on the ground.

After the man was freed from the toilet captive, he received 'immediate medical support'.

Since the passenger's story made worldwide headlines, the airline has issued him with a full refund.

"SpiceJet regrets and apologizes for the inconvenience caused to the passenger," SpiceJet said in a statement.

"The passenger is being provided a full refund."
