American Airlines passengers aboard a flight departing Miami for Costa Rica say the cabin of a Boeing was hot on the tarmac for more than an hour.
American Airlines passengers were stuck on a sweltering Boeing jet for more than an hour while waiting to depart from Miami to Costa Rica late Thursday night, two travelers told FOX Business. The American Airlines Flight 1353 passengers say they were deplaned twice before being switched to another aircraft at Miami International Airport. Data from FlightAware says the Boeing 737 eventually left around five hours after scheduled departure and arrived in San Jose earlier this morning.
"Basically they just said we are going to fix the plane and then we are going to go out, so we are all sitting in the terminal like, ‘ok you are going to fix a power failure?’ Especially with all the stuff that has been going on with Boeing and it was a 737 Boeing," he said. Solana says passengers were then told to start boarding the same plane again, but it remained hot inside the cabin. "Both times I was on the plane, I was drenched in sweat the whole time," he said.
