Grow-up man, talk sense in a forum. Also don't use fake designations... you and a finance manager, joke of the millennium.

Hi aunty,.. yes it is shocking. but on second thoughts, i think the manglore airport authorities have no option other than sending him back to dubai... i think they have no authority to transport him to dhaka(Bangladesh) coz its a diff country... unlike our guyz friend in this forum... which is from mumbai to delhi(same country)

leojose, the news is shocking, the father was supposed to attend his child's funeral in Dhaka and he was sent back to Dubai...

Sometimes authorities take such decisions, those cannot be understood.

Why blame India for the usual scandalous treatment of expatriates when the whole situation happened in Dubai and could be rectified there itself. They say you can have all the money but never the brains

That guy is super cool, he lives in his own world.

He was living on bachelor status for a decade .... & as

in most cases .... he was nervous [ like that other lady

which 'Ghazal' has mentioned ] to meet his wife...

after good 11 months .

Mike : It is not easy to come up to 'others

expectations .... you know !

It was one/same air line operating two different flights

to two different destinations at almost same time of

departure.

Check in staff & the passenger himself were indeed not

paying attention to what was happening, among others ...

This started at 'check in' counter, where 'they' issued

him a boarding pass with error which was never [ yes ]

detected by 'a n y o n e' till the passenger landed at

wrong / not intended destination.

Some of you might have remembered a similar incident, a lady from India had a round trip on Qatar Airways flight... because she had fallen asleep and couldn't manage to wake up at Doha airport.

Haha, I wouldn't mind that, unless I were pressed for time. They would compensate with a free ride to actual destination, and I'd have visited another city/country (technically).

Was reading a blog on TOI where the author was not happy with the repetitive levels of security check at the Indian airports...guess, they know why they have to do that...:)

He is a 'extra' cool guy , he strictly keeps to himself

in his daily life too.

Lucky he was & given the free ride on the next available

flight from Mumbai to New Delhi !

Now the the mystery still remains ... which air line ???

By yv2r• 7 Jul 2012 11:11

mistake of Airline, he can sue the Airline and get full compensation.

How did he reached Delhi?, IS your friend an Illiterate, did not see at the boarding gate, Flight number and Sector
