Woman falls asleep, misses flight

Kolkata: A Thai national who dozed off after collecting her boarding pass led to a frenzied manhunt at Kolkata airport on Tuesday morning.
Bangkok resident Wathanya Phromthong collected her Air India Express boarding pass at 6.30 am. She, and 12 others were asked to wait for the immigration-check call for the 9.30 am flight. Around 8.30 am, officers noticed that all passengers except one had reported for immigration check. "We looked for her in the check-in area and security hold. Her name was announced at least 25 times," said an AI official. Phromthong had strayed into the central lounge and drifted to sleep.
Phromthong was not taken on board. She may have to buy another ticket to fly back home.
