The Flying Pinto, a blog by a flight attendant, reveals some of oddest items passengers have brought on to flights.
• A window.
• A microwave, which the passenger sat on and thought no one would notice they were almost two feet taller than everyone else.
• Adult toys … it fell out of a bag and was in the middle of the aisle.
• A hair dryer. The big kind that you sit under.
• A five-foot Ficus tree in a pot, soil and all!
• Bull horns. Not just any bull horns but six-inch-long bull horns. To make matters worse, we were backing out when the family realised they were on their way to Boston, not Austin, like they thought. They unpacked their horns and headed towards the exit while taxiing. Wish there were iPhones back then …
• A hamster in a Duncan Donuts box.
• A live rooster in the business-class closet on a Manila flight from Guam. I had no idea until Grampa asked me for some water for the rooster.
• Going to Puerto Rico on a B727 years ago, a passenger had a ferret in a backpack that he put in the overhead bin. It got out during the flight and, on landing, as he was informing me, a woman opened the overhead bin and screamed.
