Delays at airports can get really frustrating, especially when you get stuck on a plane. To ease the extra hours the passengers had to spend in a plane, a pilot decided to be nice and get everyone pizza.
The 2 p.m. Delta Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Atlanta was stuck going to Knoxville because of bad weather. Passengers were stuck spending hours on the tarmac before they could finally fly to their final destination.
However, passengers were then surprised by a baggage cart coming towards the plane, which had a very different kind of luggage on board - Pizza Hut pizza. Passenger Khoury Ashooh, who was flying with his wife and young daughter, told the Daily Mail that there were even toppings!
As CNN notes, plenty of other passengers shared their excitement on Twitter, posting pictures of Delta flight attendants serving pizza. Twitter users on other delayed Delta flights on Tuesday were also surprised to receive pizza parties.
“It's part of an effort company-wide when weather disrupts our operation to get food and beverages to delayed customers,” Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant told CNN.
Delta was particularly hit hard on Tuesday by the stormy weather in Georgia since Atlanta is the airline’s main hub. According to Flightaware.com, there were 653 flight delays for Delta and 106 cancellations that day.
