LA-Munich flight stops in Iceland to ditch unruly passenger
A Lufthansa flight from Los Angeles to Munich had to make an unscheduled stop in Iceland after a passenger became so unruly that the crew decided she was a danger to the plane. (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Iceland is too easy to leave...the airlines really need a "Drop off the Trash" point in Greenland where the expense to leave would be huge not to mention the weather effect.
I've said this before -- the airlines need to cooperate and create a industry-wide "No Fly" list for disruptive passengers. Airlines already ban passengers for life in some cases, but that leaves them free to throw another tantrum on a different airline.
Lufthansa should charge her for additional fuel used to get in & out of BIKF.
And who is going to compensate travelers who missed they connecting flights or trains?
All things considered, an hour and a half delay on an LA to Munich flight including a pit stop to drop off a drunk lady isn't too bad.
On the long westbound trip made completely during daylight, I'd agree with you. In fact the approach to Iceland is beautiful. But this was probably on an overnight eastbound flight, so I don't think many of the passengers would agree.
Yep, indy2001, I agree totally. As a former resident of Paris for 20 years, I can vouch for the fact that it's bad enough to have to deal with the 9-hour jet lag from the US west coast to Central European Time, but to have my carefully-planned in-flight snooze time disrupted by such "unnecessary" incidents can really set me back even further.
