A passenger of the rather unusual kind mixes up a flight from Belgium to the USA.
New Jersey – A stowaway kept the crew of a plane on their toes. He would probably have been able to fly himself. A little bird managed to get on board the plane and flew across the Atlantic from Brussels to New York.
TikTok user and airline passenger Brooke Frazier (@totallychillfemale) snapped footage of the confused bird fluttering around the plane cabin during the eight-hour flight from Belgium across the pond to the United States. “Vogel is stuck on our 8 hour flight from Europe,” the overlay read, “The little fella will be so confused.”

The unusual story caught the imagination of some viewers. One commenter wrote: “Pixar film. A European bird runs away because his whole family bullies him because he is small. Now he’s being raised by a bunch of Jersey pigeons.”

Others expressed concern about how the bird would adapt to life in America once it got off the plane. One commenter joked, “Poor guy has no idea he’s going to be out of health care.”
It is to be hoped that the little bird will quickly adjust to his new life in the USA. It is unclear how he is doing at the moment.
Just recently, a Lufthansa flight had to be diverted from Frankfurt Airport to Nigeria. The plane lands in Rome. The airline comments on the incident. (marv)
