Several Detroit-bound flyers accidentally got a free trip to bumfuck nowhere Canada on Sunday, after their flight from Amsterdam was grounded on a remote military base in Newfoundland for a whopping 21 hours.



This tale of airline woe — one that puts those measly three-hour delays to shame — allegedly came after an engine issue forced the plane to take a nearly day-long detour on Ameica’s hat, the plane’s 270 passengers staying overnight in the military barracks.


“It honestly felt like a hotel. It wasn’t too bad. We had soap, water, everything,” passenger Tony Santoro told local Detroit news outlet, Fox 2 in what may be the most depressing lodging review in the entire history of travel.

While fortunately a second rescue flight was dispatched to the Northern base — the first was a no-go after the airplane’s crew timed out — bringing the passengers back to good ‘ol Motor City on Monday, one thing is certain: We can only hope no one opted to enjoy one last Amsterdam space cake before takeoff.
