A man trying to fly from Australia to the United States is now finding himself in a Tahiti jail cell, with a permanent ban on Australia’s flag carrier…
However, this recent flight took a lot longer, as the plane ended up diverting to Papeete, Tahiti (PPT), roughly seven hours after it first departed. The plane then spent roughly an hour on the ground there, before continuing the journey to Dallas, where it landed just under nine hours later.
In the end, the plane landed in Dallas just around three hours after the scheduled arrival time, which isn’t bad, when you consider the initial departure out of Melbourne was nearly two hours behind schedule.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
