A Delta Air Lines flight from Paris to Seattle was diverted twice after a lavatory leak reportedly flooded part of the cabin, leaving passengers stranded for hours. The incident highlights how mechanical faults can disrupt long-haul journeys and create significant delays for travellers.

The flight first made an unexpected stop at London Heathrow after the crew reported the lavatory-related mechanical problem. According to the report, the disruption continued after that diversion, requiring another change to the journey and extending passengers’ wait.
