New Delhi: Books, spectacles, mobile phones and cameras are not the only articles that passengers leave behind in a plane; interestingly, they forget to take with them strollers, wedding rings and even artificial limbs.
Passengers also leave behind their valuables like smartphones, iPods, cameras, iPads, kindles and even laptops, a survey by UK-based Virgin Atlantic airlines has found.
The survey of airline's cabin crew and ground staff found that majority of passengers forget to take with them articles like books, reading glasses, mobile phones, cameras, iPods, headphones, makeup kits, neck pillows, CDs and duty free shopping.
Surprisingly, items like wedding rings, baby strollers, shoes, passports and even artificial body parts were found left behind by the fliers, the airline said.
"Passengers leave all sorts of items on our flights ranging from the predictable to the quite unexpected. We were surprised to find an artificial limb left behind by one of our upper class passengers but were delighted that we were able to return them," said Stephen King, General Manager, Virgin Atlantic-India.
