SpiceJet passenger gets stuck inside toilet for an hour on Mumbai-Bengaluru flight, gets full refund

On a recent SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru, a male passenger experienced a distressing situation when he became trapped inside the aircraft's lavatory. 

The door malfunctioned, leaving him confined for over an hour. 

Despite efforts by the crew to open the door during the flight, the passenger was only freed upon arrival at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport. 

In response to this ordeal, SpiceJet granted the passenger a full refund for the inconvenience suffered.

Further, a SpiceJet spokesperson speaking to the media said, "The passenger who got stuck inside the lavatory for about an hour on SpiceJet flight operating from Mumbai to Bengaluru is being provided a full refund."
