BENGALURU: Software engineers, S Karthick and V Vidhya, heading from Bengaluru to Pune to spend Diwali with a relative would never have dreamt of such a nightmarish start to their holiday. Due to a slight delay inside the airport due to their unwell daughter, the couple missed their flight as well as spent 12 hours at the airport waiting for the next one.
The couple, along with their nine-year-old daughter and five-and-a-half-year old son, had left their house at Sarjapur at 2.45am on October 26. With their flight 6E-408 scheduled at 5.25am, they had completed all security checks before 4.50am. Just as they were heading for boarding, the girl felt unwell and wanted to throw up. Vidhya took her to the washroom in the first floor.
