Preity Zinta missed the flight from Mumbai to Delhi and this didn't go well with the actor. She took to Twitter to bash the airlines for making her wait for 1.5 hours in the lobby. She wrote, "JetAirways makesU wait4 1.5hours in the lounge as they are delayed then off load U cuz their staff forgets to tell u in time they R boarding."
She also wrote, "Thank You #JetAirways 4always being late, 4making me miss my flight today & making ur strongest supporter never wanting to fly with U again."
According to a leading tabloid, Preity was visiting the Capital to attend a board meeting of her IPL cricket franchise team, Kings XI Punjab. A sourced informed the tabloid, "The meeting was supposed to begin at 5.30 pm so it was important for her to catch the 3 pm flight. After she got off-loaded, Preity even tried to catch the next flight but it was full and the one after was too late for her to make it to the meeting. So she stayed back in Mumbai. She was to catch a flight to the US from Delhi on Wednesday night but had to reschedule her flight and will now fly from Mumbai."
Airline's spokesperson said, "A guest waiting in the lounge to board flight 9W 305 would not board the flight as the guest was awaiting a parcel to arrive for her at the airport. Airline staff met her a few times requesting her to board as it was nearing flight closure time. Unfortunately, the guest decided to wait for the parcel to arrive. The airline offloaded the guest's check-in bag and offered her an alternate flight, which was declined."
