Airlines offloads Preity Zinta
on Oct 21, 2016
Preity Zinta was extremely angry with an airlines as she missed her flight from Mumbai to Delhi. Preity was visiting the Capital to attend a board meeting of her IPL cricket franchise team, Kings XI Punjab. She wrote, "JetAirways makesU wait4 1.5hours in the lounge as they are delayed then off load U cuz their staff forgets to tell u in time they R boarding." She also wrote, "Thank You #JetAirways 4always being late, 4making me miss my flight today & making ur strongest supporter never wanting to fly with U again." According to reports the meeting was supposed to begin at 5.30 pm so it was important for her to catch the 3 pm flight. After she got off-loaded, Preity even tried to catch the next flight but it was full and the one after was too late for her to make it to the meeting. So she stayed back in Mumbai. She was to catch a flight to the US from Delhi on Wednesday night but had to reschedule her flight and will now fly from Mumbai. But a Jet Airways spokesperson said: "A guest (passenger) waiting in lounge to board 9W 305 would not board the flight as she was awaiting a parcel to arrive for her at the airport. Airline staff met her a few times requesting her to board as it was nearing flight closure time. Unfortunately, the guest decided to wait for the parcel to arrive. The airline offloaded the guest's check-in bag and offered an alternative flight, which was declined."
