Airline star Jane Boulton in embarrassing blunder as she misses her flight – years after scolding late passengers
STAR of iconic hit TV show Airline, Jane Boulton, has been left red-faced after making a huge blunder. The TV personality, who found fame appearing on the ITV series, famously quipped to passengers it was "easy if you get here on time" but has now found herself missing her first ever flight over her own lateness. 5 5 Jane, whose episodes of Airline went viral last year and in 2023, took to her TikTok account to discuss how she had been unable to board her flight as planned after being too late to the airport to be checked in. Revealing that she was due to head to Gatwick Airport after attending a podcast recording, Jane found herself stuck in traffic that prevented her from arriving on time. Appearing that karma was out to get her, she said to the camera: "Came to for an interview with Lewis Nicholls yesterday and, guess what guys, for the first time in my life it was not easy because I did not get there on time. "We got stuck in the most horrific traffic on the way to Gatwick, there was an accident and literally we came off the motorway to queue up for the Gatwick turn off and it took us probably an hour to get from there." In a bitter blow, Jane was just ONE minute late to the check-in desk. And despite being Britain's most well-known check-in lady, her celebrity status and previous credentials did not help her as she was still denied the chance to board the plane after asking very nicely. Jane continued: "We missed the check-in by how long? One minute. And as nice as I was... but no, she wasn't having any of it. "So we missed our little flight with Eastern Airways and had to book on a train, so we should have arrived here at 10 yesterday morning and we got here at about four, three o'clock. "So I know how people feel now, and I can honestly say a lot of people out there are probably thinking 'karma'." Jane was based at Luton Airport working for EasyJet on their check-in desk and became a hit with reality TV fans thanks to her no-nonsense attitude. She often clashed with unruly customers and was never afraid to put them in their place. Her fans were quick to make light of the situation as they quoted many of Jane's viral catchphrases that she often used on late passengers on the show, back to her. One wrote on the post: "Well I'm sorry but a coffee shop does not look like departures (love you Jane)." Another added: "Jane, it's a plane not a bus, much love as always though." 5 5 As a third said: "It is easy if you get here on time as Jane Boulton once told a customer." Jane ceased working in the airline industry in 2014 and shortly after began running her own business, Party Paradise UK. She found herself thrust back into the spotlight when Airline found a new lease of life via TikTok with various clips and episodes going viral - 20 years after they were first aired. It saw Jane make a return to mainstream fame in 2023 and she has since built up an impressive online following. She has appeared on This Morning and various podcasts reflecting about her time on the show. Jane has also become a favourite for brand partnerships and has raked in the cash working with a whole host of companies. One full circle moment saw Jane collaborate with EasyJet as a brand ambassador for a series of viral video clips last year. 5

EXCLUSIVE To passengers for the maiden voyage of a new luxury sleeper train, we're sorry to announce this service has been cancelled! Rail fans who paid up to £55,000 for three-day trip to Cornwall have journey canned
With a three-day rail trip to Cornwall costing more than a holiday to Venice on the Orient Express, you might expect Britain's newest luxury sleeper train to run on time. But to the dismay of its well-heeled passengers – who had forked out a minimum of £22,400 for a 'curated' luxury weekend tour of the West Country – the maiden voyage of the refurbished Britannic Explorer has hit the buffers. Guests had celebrated the launch of the rebranded 1970s train with a glitzy three-hour champagne-fuelled launch party headed by actress Keira Knightley at London Euston station last Thursday, with the inaugural trip originally scheduled for departure the following day. Instead, the ten-coach train, rebranded with bespoke fitted carpets, plush furnishings and commissioned artworks, was returned to a depot near Southampton for 'final refinements'. Some passengers are understood to have paid upwards of £50,000 for a three-night stay in one of the train's three 'grand suites'. Train operator Belmond, which also runs the Orient Express, says it offered passengers a full refund 'including associated travel costs', but refused to say why the Britannic Explorer's maiden journey from London's Victoria station to Penzance had been derailed. One enthusiast who spotted the train, which has a top speed of 75mph, at the Euston station launch party said: 'By anyone's standards this is a really expensive train trip in the UK. 'There's obviously been some complications. But I tell you what, if I'd paid 55 grand – which is what the most expensive cabin was for the trip – and then been told it was cancelled, I'd probably be a bit cheesed off. Guests celebrated the launch of the rebranded 1970s train with a glitzy three-hour champagne-fuelled launch party headed by actress Keira Knightley (above) at London Euston station last Thursday Some passengers are understood to have paid upwards of £50,000 for a three-night stay in one of the train's three 'grand suites' 'There was this big, noisy launch party on platform 16, screened off so regular travellers couldn't see in. By Friday morning the train had gone from Euston back to the Eastleigh works near Southampton.' Train enthusiasts spotted Britannic Explorer when it was brought up to Victoria station for a test run on June 13 and noticed there was a problem with its retro-fitted automatic doors. Belmond, which is owned by French luxury goods giant LVMH, says on its website that the Britannic Explorer will now be 'introduced' on July 21 with a journey from London to mid-Wales. A company spokeswoman said: 'The adjustment to the schedule was due to final refinements being made to ensure the train operates at the highest possible standard.

Jet2 profits prepare to take off on summer holiday boom
Travel group Jet2 is due to see its profits surge thanks to Britons shrugging off cost-of-living concerns and jetting off for holidays. Britain's largest package holiday operator is set to report an annual profit of £579 million when it delivers its results on Wednesday, a 9 per cent rise on the previous year. Sales are also expected to have soared by £1 billion to £7.2 billion in the 12 months to March, according to analysts' forecasts. The profit is slightly above the £570 million that the company predicted in a trading update in April when it flagged that demand for its summer holidays had boomed earlier in the year, with the firm increasing the number of seats on its planes by more than 8 per cent. It provided relief to investors after its boss, Steve Heapy, warned in February that the cost-of-living crisis could hit profits as consumers cut back on getaways. Jet2 is the largest company on the London Stock Exchange's junior AIM market, with a value of nearly £3.8 billion. Its value has surged since the pandemic, with the share price more than doubling in the past five years as it managed to emerge from the Covid-19 lockdowns less scarred than many of its competitors. It allowed the company to leapfrog rivals such as Tui and On The Beach to become the UK's largest tour operator. Despite initial fears that consumers would sacrifice holidays as the cost of living rose, the opposite appears to have been the case, with many households ring-fencing their getaway budgets. In its half-year results in May, On The Beach said it was expecting a record summer season as Britons prioritised spending on travel, particularly city and beach breaks to countries such as Spain. And last month Heathrow airport increased its profit forecasts for 2025, citing better-than-expected demand for long-haul flights despite fears that turmoil in the Middle East and US President Donald Trump's tariff and border policies would put people off travelling.
