Chinese tourist throws a tantrum over luggage at Italy's Milan Airport; watch the viral video

Time of India13 hours ago
Ah, airports! These are modern-day fight clubs where travellers are most of the time dueling with either visa issues, immigrations, jet lag, long queues, and, of course, hitting the ultimate level baggage weight limits.
Let's not shy away from admitting that we all have faced the issue of overweight luggage at some point of time in our travel career. It's an upsetting scene especially if we have to pay a hefty sum for that while travelling. However, in such cases all we do is request the airline staff to waive off or reduce the extra cost unlike this Chinese woman who started throwing a tantrum at the Milan Airport in Italy over the luggage being overweight!
The Chinese tourist, when told that her suitcase was overweight and she'd need to shed some load or cough some extra euros, she chose a third option: rolling on the floor in protest.
Like Literally.
The video went viral and garnered all kinds of responses online.
According to a video that went viral on social media in June, a Chinese woman can be seen at the Milan Airport in Italy rolling on the floor like a toddler and shouting all because she was stopped at the boarding gate for her baggage exceeding the permitted weight limit. The airport staff gave her the option to either remove some clothes from her bags or pay an extra amount but it seemed like she did not want to either.

Typically, in such cases a person would choose one of these options and move ahead, but shockingly, the woman is seen in the clip rolling on the floor like a kid throwing a tantrum. She can be seen knocking her hands on the floor, kicking her legs, and shouting. Even the staff of the airport look surprised and confused wondering what to do. In the background we can also see other passengers making a video of her. They look half-concerned and half-amused, as airline staff tried to reason with her.
But reason had clearly gone on a vacation of its own in the video it seems!
This video sparked a debate on social media soon being shared. While some people had hilarious reactions, calling the woman 'cockroach lady' because of her drama, others were sympathising with her or even doing psychological diagnosis on her tantrum. Seems like the woman was already having a tough day and the overweight luggage acted as a cherry on the top! Who knows.
Reportedly, the airport staff managed to calm her down and booked her on another flight.

On Maha Kumbh lines, Kanwar Yatra security apparatus to be tech-driven

1 2 Lucknow: Taking inspiration from Maha Kumbh model, the Uttar Pradesh govt has deployed an elaborate and technology-driven security apparatus for Kanwar Yatra ensuring real-time surveillance from land, water, and air to provide a safe and seamless experience to devotees. A modern control room has been established to monitor activities through an extensive network. Speaking on security arrangements for Kanwar Yatra, DGP Rajeev Krishna said, "Traffic diversions have been implemented across the entire Meerut zone in coordination with officials from Haryana, Delhi, and Uttarakhand to ensure a smooth and secure pilgrimage." He said over 40,000 CCTV cameras, including AI-enabled systems and drones, are being used for real-time surveillance. Police personnel on motorcycles have been deployed at every kilometre along the entire route. In total, approximately 45,000 police personnel are on duty for yatra. Krishna added that food safety department officials had been deployed to conduct checks, and only authorized agencies were permitted to carry out such inspections. "The role of the police is solely to assist and ensure security," he said. The DGP emphasized that every intelligence input related to the Kanwar Yatra was being acted upon promptly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 4 måder at se, om du har råd til at gå på pension med 2,5 mio. kr.

In Karnataka, Shakti scheme ticket count set to cross 500-crore mark

Bengaluru: On Monday, the Shakti scheme — offering free bus travel for women in the state — is set to cross the 500-crore ridership milestone. To mark the occasion, chief minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar will travel in a city bus and personally issue tickets to women passengers. Transport minister Ramalinga Reddy told TOI that at the district level, committees overseeing implementation of the five guarantee schemes will celebrate the milestone by distributing sweets and flowers. The Shakti scheme was the first of the five guarantees launched by Congress govt. From June 11, 2023 to July 11, 2025, the state's four road transport corporations — KSRTC, BMTC, NWKRTC, and KKRTC — issued over 497 crore tickets. The corporations have spent a whopping Rs 12,614 crore to provide free travel facilities for women on ordinary bus services. Out of nearly 25,000 buses, women are allowed to travel in over 20,000. In June this year, conductors issued more than 73 lakh tickets daily to women availing of the free travel benefit.

In the first month of the scheme's launch, RTCs issued over 10 crore tickets, incurring an expenditure of Rs 250 crore. In the second month, the number of tickets issued rose to nearly 20 crore, and the cost reached Rs 453 crore. Patronage continued to grow in the following months. The highest number of tickets — over 22 crore — was issued in May 2025, accounting for Rs 670 crore. Following an upward revision in bus fares in Jan 2025, the expenditure to provide free travel under the scheme saw a significant jump. Reddy said, "Naturally, when there is a revision in bus fares, the cost of providing benefits under the scheme increases. During festive seasons and holidays, we also see increased patronage. As promised, the state govt has been supporting RTCs by reimbursing the expenditure. Except for a pending amount of Rs 2,750 crore, RTCs have received the rest of the funds spent under the scheme." He stated that the govt has extended additional financial support to RTCs by providing a loan of Rs 2,000 crore and facilitating the induction of new buses. "After coming to power, we have taken measures to induct 5,800 new buses and recruit 10,000 staff, including 1,000 on compassionate grounds. RTCs currently have a liability of Rs 4,000 crore due to the lack of support from the previous BJP govt," Reddy added.

This I-Day weekend, Goa flights from Ahmedabad 33% costlier than Dubai

Ahmedabad: After a rather quiet summer travel season, Gujaratis are making the most of a back-to-back holiday bonanza this Aug. With Independence Day falling on a Friday, followed by Janmashtami on Saturday and Sunday rounding off the week, the three-day window from Aug 15-17 is proving irresistible for a quick getaway. However, even if you plan a month before, a roundtrip flight to a nearby destination might just burn a hole in your pocket. At the top of the price charts is Goa, with return fares from Ahmedabad between Aug 14 and 18 averaging around Rs 28,000 on direct flights. Surprisingly, return air fare to Dubai are hovering around Rs 21,000, which is 33% less for the same dates. Even other domestic routes like Dehradun (Rs 17,000), Chennai (Rs 10,000), Mumbai (Rs 10,000), and Jaipur (Rs 9,000) are offering little relief. According to travel agents, the Aug rush comes against the backdrop of a relatively quiet summer vacation season, with many families skipping May-June holidays. "Domestic bookings nosedived after the India-Pakistan border tensions escalated and the ill-fated terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam. In fact, there were ample cancellations too. That apart, airspace closure and other concerns also impacted international travel plans of many. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo This is the first real opportunity for a short escapade after months, and people are booking their holidays in large numbers, especially families and young working couples. That's pushing fares up sharply," said Virendra Shah, ex-chairman, Travel Agents' Association of India (TAAI) Gujarat chapter.

The rush to find alternate routes or destinations only intensified the price pressure," he added. Offering the best of both worlds, including the hills and the seas, lush forests and waterfalls, Goa remains the top pick for many travellers from Gujarat, owing to its proximity with direct flight connectivity, monsoon charm, beach-side properties, and vibrant local culture. Traditionally, the coastal state also draws visitors from Gujarat who tend to go gambling on Janmashtami. "Interestingly, the traction for international destinations is also good. People are adjusting their leaves on 13/14 or 13 and 17 or 17/18 and flocking to Southeast Asian spots like Maldives, Krabi, and Bali, among others. Even Sri Lanka bookings have seen a good uptake," said Manish Sharma, a travel industry expert based in Ahmedabad. "With flights out of reach for many, road trips are also picking up strongly. While Udaipur, Mount Abu, the Polo Forest region, and even heritage stays in Kutch and Saurashtra are seeing strong demand, particularly for self-drive holidays and quick family packages. Travel platforms are reporting a surge in last-minute searches for staycations and drivable destinations from Ahmedabad. We have already witnessed an uptick in property prices in Udaipur," Sharma further explained.
