Sleeping Woman Flies From Pakistan To Paris And Back

HINDUSTAN TIMES, (Pakistan), KUWAIT NEWS AGENCY (Kuwait), RFI, LE FIGARO (France)

A woman traveling from Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore to Paris via Milan fell asleep on the flight, only to be woken up 18 hours later at her starting point, reports Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

She woke up expecting to enjoy the glories of the French capital, says RFI, only to discover she was back in Pakistan.

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) are investigating how ground crew failed to notice the woman during the plane’s stopover in Paris, according to the Hindustan Times.

The Pakistani airline sent her back to Paris today on another flight, writes le Figaro. As there was no PIA flight to Paris, she was asked to pay for the extra ticket back to France.

After protests from her family, the airline promised to pay for the ticket, says RFI.

Migration has too many elements to count. Beyond the matter of leaving your homeland, the process creates a gaping emptiness inside the migrant — and outside, in their lives. If forced upon someone, it can cause psychological and anthropological harm, as it involves the destruction of roots. That's in fact the case of millions of Venezuelans who have left their country without plans for the future or pleasurable intentions.

Their experience is comparable to paddling desperately in shark-infested waters. As many Mexicans will concur, it is one thing to take a plane, and another to pay a coyote to smuggle you to some place 'safe.'

Venezuela's mass emigration of recent years has evolved in time. Initially, it was the middle and upper classes and especially their youth, migrating to escape the socialist regime's socio-political and economic policies. Evidently, they sought countries with better work, study and business opportunities like the United States, Panama or Spain. The process intensified after 2017 when the regime's erosion of democratic structures and unrelenting economic vandalism were harming all Venezuelans.
