Virgin Australia’s $7 million Airbus faced reptilian mutiny when a live snake slithered aboard in Melbourne, triggering a flight delay to Brisbane. Trending searches for “can snakes fly on planes?” and “weirdest airline incidents” spiked. Local staff, channeling Indiana Jones, corralled the intruder, as one observer mused, “It’s not in the safety manual.”

Following the reptilian mutiny and the staff’s makeshift Indiana Jones routine, the plane’s evacuation led to headlines about “animal stowaways on commercial flights.” Passengers posted bewildered queries like “Do airlines allow snakes?” and “what happens if animals escape on planes?” Meanwhile, the jet’s cargo hold became a temporary reptile sanctuary—proof that even business-class seats can’t ward off cold-blooded guests.

Security logs reveal the snake’s journey delayed 187 passengers and inspired a surge in online searches for “emotional support python” travel policies—Melbourne Airport’s new unofficial mascot slithered into viral infamy.
