This hilarious incident occurred when a Scottish man tried to open a KLM plane’s door at 30,000 feet, mistaking it for the loo entrance. He had to bare a fine of 600 euros and a ban from traveling through flight for five years.
The airline staff accused him of trying to open the door of the plane while he was traveling at 30,000 feet away from the ground.
Soon after this he claimed that he only touched the handle after confusing it for the door to the toilet.
According to the Scotland’s Sunday Post, James from Alloa, was huckled off the KLM flight from Edinburgh to Amsterdam the moment it touched down at Schiphol Airport. He was whisked away to a nearby detention center where he spent the night before he was fined 434 pounds (600 euros). But when he went to fly home he said KLM staff refused to let him on board and said he was banned from flying with them for five years. He only made it back after a friend paid for him to travel with a rival airline. “The crew told me to stay in my seat and I was to be arrested when the plane landed. I tried to explain it was a simple mistake. It was a misunderstanding,” Gray was quoted as saying by the daily. “The police came and arrested me. They weren’t too friendly,” he said.
