But the way she pointed the finger at the passenger and used that tone was not at all cool. Imagine you have paid 75k for your ticket, and at the airport, you are being treated this way as if she is not calling security but a gang of hooligans to scare that person.” A second added, “The Lufthansa lady is correct; she is travelling to Canada with a Germany layover without a transit visa. When she lands in Germany without a transit visa, the airlines will escalate the case against the Lufthansa lady and penalise the traveller.” A third shared, “I believe the fight is because the flight had a layover at Munich, and the person taking the flight didn’t have the transit visa for Munich.” Catch every big hit, every wicket with Crick-it, a one stop destination for Live Scores, Match Stats, Quizzes, Polls & much more.
