A typical plane has air conditioning that's nice and soothing. Except if you're on a budget airline, they don't always work on those. But in any case, they're supposed to make your life a bit easier.
But as reported by the New York Post, for one Jetstar Airlines flight, things got pretty scary. In case you're not aware, Jetstar is a low-cost Australian airline. And for one flight between Bali and Melbourne, things turned pretty scary.
In a viral clip posted on TikTok, the air conditioning system in the plane went pretty crazy. Condensation started pouring out, making things super foggy. People couldn't see a few feet in front of them. The shocked travelers were trying to stop the constant stream of fog with their air vent dials.
Giselle, the person behind the TikTok, captioned the video "Something tells me the plane's air conditioning is working overtime." In the voiceover of the clip, the Aussie explained that condensation on planes isn't exactly a novel thing. Sometimes, it can happen when there's a big temperature difference between the inside and outside of the plane.
It was the sheer level of condensation on this flight was just a bit crazy. In her words, the Jetstar flight was "a little bit insane." And she "couldn't see more than about two, three rows ahead" as the tarmac just stayed there.

The Cabin Crew Said the Plane Condensation Was Normal
She explained in an interview that the crew repeatedly tried to calm the passengers down. "To give the crew due credit, they made several announcements to reassure people that it was just the air conditioning system," she said.
She also explained, "One of the passengers had a bit of a moment with coughing, but we just had to wait until takeoff, where it dissipated surprisingly quickly."
Commenters on social media found things pretty crazy. One wrote, "Girl I'd be offfff that plane that's terrifying." Another wrote, "I've flown many, many times around the country for 30 years, and I've never seen it like that before. A bit of fog, but not like pea soup. Very weird," another wrote.
