Layovers can be nothing short of annoying, but they are a necessary and in some cases unavoidable inconvenience. But imagine booking a flight only to learn your layover was scheduled to take, no joke, 413,786 hours — aka 47 years.

That nightmare scenario is exactly what happened to passenger James Lloyd when he tried to book a flight through Skyscanner from Christchurch, New Zealand to London, England, and was told he’d be spending nearly five decades in Bangkok.
Hilariously, Lloyd reached out to Skyscanner on Facebook to see if they had any suggestions on what he should do in Thailand for the next 47 years. The customer-service rep, Jen, responded in kind, suggesting Lloyd spend his time outside the airport terminal becoming a Tai Chi expert or booking a cruise on the Chao Phraya river. Users on Facebook were so amused by the rep’s cheeky response that one created a #TEAMJEN t-shirt.
The man, alas, did not book the flight.
