Brooke Martin+FollowWhy My Redeye Turned Into a DetourImagine thinking you’re halfway to Denver, but suddenly your plane drops altitude and heads for San Francisco instead. That’s what happened to 360 United passengers when a sensor wrongly said a cargo door was open. Turns out, it was just a glitchy sensor, not an actual open door (phew!). The upside? Safety first, always. The lesson: even old tech can cause new headaches, so double-checking keeps everyone safe—even if it means an unexpected layover and extra airport coffee. #TravelStories #Aviation #LifeHacks #SafetyFirst #Business30Share

So, airplane mode isn’t just about rules—it’s about keeping everyone safe up there! #TravelTips #Aviation #AirplaneMode #SafetyFirst #Spirituality92Share
