A chap at an airport has become an unexpected social media sensation after turning up at the boarding gate with what must surely be one of the largest boarding passes ever printed. The hilarious moment, which has taken social media by storm, shows the bewildered traveller presenting his oversized boarding pass to an equally bemused police officer. Understandably, the video incited a lot of jokes and comments from Netizens. Travel company MakeMyTrip also partook in the fun!
Man Shows Oversized Boarding Pass At An Airport Gate
In what appears to be a printing mishap of epic proportions, the boarding pass dwarfs its standard counterparts, measuring more than three times the usual dimensions. The video shared a few days ago on the popular social media platform, Instagram, captures the brilliant moment.
The officer, maintaining his professional demeanour despite an evident struggle to suppress his amusement, carefully inspects the enormous document. The passenger, seemingly taking the situation in good stride, can be seen gesturing towards various details on the mammoth boarding pass.
He is presumably attempting to explain the peculiar circumstances. The video’s caption cheekily advises viewers, “Don’t ask your friends to print your boarding pass” — a warning that’s garnered countless laughs across social media platforms.
This Is How MakeMyTrip Reacted To The Video
What adds another layer of humour to the situation is that the oversized boarding pass bears the “MakeMyTrip” logo. The travel company, spotting an opportunity for some clever marketing, responded brilliantly to the viral moment.
They left a witty comment suggesting the passenger could have avoided the paper palaver by simply displaying their ticket on WhatsApp, before promising to send him a “larger-than-life gift” in recognition of his “larger-than-life passion for travel.”
The incident has sparked a flood of playful comments, with social media users particularly tickled by the officer’s composed yet amused reaction. One viewer quipped that the printer responsible must have been working at a printing press, whilst others praised the traveller’s remarkable composure throughout the entertaining episode.
