Stowaway scares passengers of Spirit Airlines flight in the United States

Spirit Airlines gets little extra, but some pbadengers got a free adrenaline kick earlier this week when a winged creature flew up and down the cabin.

Videos posted on social media showed pbadengers flying to Newark, New Jersey, screaming, laughing, making suggestions and shouting, "It's the Batmobile!" while what appeared to be a confused bat flew into the cabin on Wednesday morning.

USA Today announced that the plane had departed Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday at 6 am towards Newark. Pbadenger Peter Scattini wrote on Twitter that the bat had emerged "while we were 30 minutes away from our flight" (the capital letters belonged to him). He added that he did not know where it was coming from.

A video includes the audio of people riffing as the creature flies to the front, to the back and then to the front of the plane. At one end, a woman looks from the partially open door of a bathroom. Remarkably, a pbadenger seems to be sleeping through all this.

"It's the Batplane," says a man.

"It's the Batmobile!" a woman responds, before adding "Hey Batman!"

On another video, we can hear a woman say that she had seen the bat five minutes earlier. "I thought I was hallucinating," she says.

One man did not have to wonder if what he had seen was real: he said that he had literally been hit in the head. In response, Spirit asked him for information about his reservation so he could investigate, thus ensuring: "We want to raise your Spirit-s!"

It was not clear how long the flying mammal was free to roam the cabin, but Scattini said that someone had finally found a way to contain it.

"Finally, someone stuck between a book and a cup, and then locked him in one of the toilets for the rest of the trip," he wrote.

On his social network account, the airline replied Thursday Scattini: "We certainly want to answer this question for you". The airline's public relations representatives did not answer a phone call or emails Friday afternoon. On Twitter, Scattini wrote that the carrier offered the refund of the flight and a $ 50 purchase voucher.
