A viral video has taken the internet by storm, showcasing a traveler with a boarding pass of truly epic proportions. The footage, originally shared on Instagram by user Vinod (@vins.740), depicts a man at an airport gate holding a boarding pass significantly larger than the standard A4 size – easily three times the normal dimensions. The sheer scale of the pass has sparked widespread amusement online, with the video accumulating over 19 million views since its December 30th upload.
The video shows the man patiently queuing while a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) official examines the gargantuan boarding pass. The traveler appears unfazed, even amused, pointing to details on the oversized document, perhaps attempting to explain the situation. The accompanying Instagram caption, “Don’t ask your friends to print your boarding pass,” perfectly encapsulates the absurdity of the situation.
The oversized boarding pass has become a goldmine for online humor. Commenters have flooded the post with witty remarks. Some quipped about the officer’s likely reaction, while others praised the man’s composure. Sample comments include, “Are you taking flight or planning to fly *on* the boarding pass?” and “His friends are printing engineers!” One user even expressed relief that, at least, his identification card was of a normal size.
Even MakeMyTrip, a leading online travel agency, joined the conversation. Their logo is clearly visible on the oversized boarding pass, prompting a playful response: “Hey, save some paper! Show your MMT-booked tickets directly on WhatsApp at the entry! And for your larger-than-life passion for travel, we are sending you a larger-than-life gift in your DM with love from us.” This humorous engagement only added fuel to the viral fire, further delighting online audiences. The incident serves as a lighthearted reminder to carefully consider who prints your travel documents.
