Angry passengers slam Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific after Bangkok flight debacle


HONG KONG (SCMP): Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways is facing a backlash after more than 200 passengers were forced to remain in an aircraft in Bangkok for five hours when their flight was cancelled, and were then shuttled to a hotel with their passports taken away without explanation.

The Post has learned first-class and business-class passengers had an option to transfer to another flight and leave Bangkok, while others only had the choice to stay at a hotel and at least 10 people spent the night at the airport.
