They sent the whole plane to the club?

Did people take their under seat carry-on bag or were they going up in the overhead?


It's good they acted like it was a daily occurrence. I guess that training works.
Both, I'm afraid. The FAs were loud and clear: leave everything on board.

On a brighter note, half the doors were not in use. I think it took well under a minute to evacuate the B752.
