Dead passenger tries to board aircraft

As a point of interest . Is there anything in the booking forms that says that passengers ‘Have’ to be ‘alive’ to fly :confused:
But they were just probably working a flanker to get their relative home the cheapest way , once on their way they could hardly be asked to go back to the original startpoint and rebook the deceased as Freight ..on the other hand knowing of the likes of the cheapo Airlines probably yes !

Very, very odd! Just… Very, very odd!

It’s Liverpool. What do you expect?!

Do they refund in the event of a death then?

They should have flown RyanAir.

Yeah, they could then have trained HIM to land the plane thereby not bothering the cabin crew to do it;)

The time of actual death seems to vary from 12-36 hours

I suppose charging two obvious ‘fruit cakes’ would have been appropriate if they could make some real charges stick, e.g. attempting to use the corpse to secrete and smuggle contraband, seeking an inheritance only available if the deceased was pronounced dead on German soil, knowingly desicrating a dead body by attempting to use a wheelchair in transporting a corpse for some sado masichistic reason (but here is the ambiguity – when exactly did he die? Before or after he was lifted [I suppose] into a wheelchair ? Did he die in the wheelchair in which he’d been for possibly over 36 hours?)

The two ‘fruit cakes’ could have asked the stewardess for a large ‘stiff’ drink for the gentleman had they boarded, with the emphasis on the word ‘stiff’.

Sick is the only word to describe the entire bizarre event.

No charges, in the end.

As I said earlier, they paid for three seats and just wanted to use them!

Update to story – may have been dead for up to 12 hours?!

…..I might be wrong though . :p

Well, it was Liverpool.

So you never know.

:diablo:

I though this was a zombie thread………..

…………I’ll get my coat:rolleyes:

LOL.

Just to be a bit pedantic about the title… I’m reasonably confident it wasn’t the dead passenger that was trying to board the aircraft himself, but rather the anxious relatives that were trying to board HIM. 😀 I might be wrong though . :p

Remember the Lampoon film with Chevy Chase where the have to drag the dead body of their long lost aunt with them? What was that called? :diablo:

‘Vacation’ 1983.:)

You would have thought he would have been detected on those new `body` scanners.

This has to be one of the Most Funniest Yet shocking news stories i’ve Read.
Are people really that Stupid??? He is Sleeping!!! :confused:

:D:D:D

Which episode was that Totty? Is it on you tube?

No worries, dead bodies have gone to the Post Office to collect their pensions in South Africa. Accompanied by two other shady characters of course!

It’s called ‘The Kipper and the Corpse’ and was the third episode of the second series, originally shown in 1979.
I’m not sure if it’s on Youtube. Youtube is blocked here at work.

Were they trying to board a Scairbus?

😀

Sorry, couldn’t resist that one…

It looks as if the old chap was a former pilot. He was of a generation to have flown in the War, and a Google search under Willi Jarant throws up someone of that name with Interflug in the 1970s.
Meanwhile his family are adamant that he was alive when loaded into the taxi and the doctors at the airport have got the time of death wrong – they reckoned he’d been dead for 24 hours. Curioser and curioser.

They should have flown RyanAir.

Look, they paid for the seat and that would be cheaper than sending him home in the hold.;)
