Passengers onboard a flight spent the entire trip scratching their skin after swarms of mozzies made their way into the cabin.
Itchy passengers spent an entire flight praying for the flight to end after mosquitoes swarmed the plane.
The infestation took place on an IndiGo flight from Lucknow to Delhi in India on Monday where passengers spent the entire flight swatting mozzies and scratching their skin.
Footage filmed inside the cabin shows the pesky bugs whizzing around the plane and resting on the overhead lockers.
Those onboard complained cabin crew were ill-equipped to address the issue, adding they were only offered lemongrass remedies to combat the mozzies.

“The whole flight was spent scratching, swatting and just praying for the flight to get over,” passenger Manisha Pande said.
“The solution they offered was some silly lemongrass patch that did nothing.”
“We paid over [$70] per ticket for this. Not cheap. Not low-cost. Just low-effort.”
She added “airlines don’t care, airports can’t manage basic pest control, and passengers are just expected to take it quietly”.
“It’s not just bad service, it’s a systemic rot. Shame on IndiGo, Lucknow Airport, and whoever is responsible for airport sanitation.”
