There’s only one thing we love more than a lovely
story about someone’s travels – and that’s a downright bizarre story about
someone’s travels. Everyone’s got one and as you can imagine, the Black Tomato
office can lay claim to more than most. So it was not without a small
smattering of sympathy (and some hearty laughter naturally) that we read about
the plight of one poor traveller – not a Black Tomato-ite rest assured – who
flew across America in an aeroplane toilet.
Now why so many unfortunate travelling experiences
occur on airlines we can’t imagine. Book a passenger on, give them a seat, a
drink or two, and dispatch them at their destination – sounds simple right?
Wrong. This unlucky chappie was forced to see out a particularly bumpy period
of turbulence fearfully perched on the seat in the teensy cabin toilet because
the airline had overbooked the flight and neglected to allocate him a seat. Needless
to say he is suing the airline for a hefty $2 million – all the better for him
to travel the Black Tomato way in future we reckon.
