Spicejet passenger ends up at wrong destination

A passenger on a flight by a low-cost Indian airline was surprised on Monday when she arrived at a completely different part of the Indian sub-continent from her intended destination. Wasifa Jan intended to fly from Indian capital New Delhi to Srinagar, the state capital of the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir region. Instead, she somehow boarded a flight bound for the western city of Pune, about 150km from Mumbai. Both flights were with low-cost carrier SpiceJet, and the error came to light only after the Pune flight landed at its destination. Jan was then flown back to New Delhi and put on a flight to Srinagar, Indian media reported, citing a SpiceJet spokesman who apologised for the incident. “We have personally reached out to the affected passenger to offer our apologies, and are arranging for her travel to Srinagar on Monday itself,” the spokesman said. The incident was at least the second over a six-month period involving a passenger boarding the wrong domestic flight, the Times of India news website said.<br/>
