And among the Dutch passengers are several tour guides who are from the Netherlands originally, but now most live on the Canary Islands. And they're coming with the group to the Canary Islands. Among them is a young woman in her 20s named Robina van Lanschot. Both flights land at Los Rodeos around 2 p.m. You know, they'd been diverted, as I keep telling you.

The passengers from the Dutch KLM flight are allowed off the plane and into the airport while they wait, which is kind of crowded, but at least they get off the plane. And it's here that Robina makes a split-second decision. See, her boyfriend, like newish boyfriend, lives on Tenerife, where they had to land, where they were diverted. So she decides to stay on the island and go see him.

She's close friends with the other two Dutch tour guides on the flight. She tries to convince them to, like, come with her. We'll make a night out of it. We'll have some fun. But they've already made plans to see friends on Gran Canaria. And so they're like, we're just going to wait till we're allowed to get back on the plane and go back to the island.

Like, they want to get this whole trip over with. Yeah. So the passengers on the Pan Am flight from L.A., they have to stay on the plane, unfortunately. Nearly all of them had departed from Los Angeles and they had already made that stop in New York. So at this point, they've all been traveling for about 12 hours. You know, probably really shitty conditions back in the 70s. Right.

Lots of cigarettes. Lots of smoking. Lots of cigarette smoke. They're anxious to complete this final 25-minute leg of their trip. They're like, can we get this over with? Among these passengers is a 27-year-old woman named Joni Holt. Joni is a former police officer and has a three-year-old daughter back home in San Diego. She's divorced and in a relatively new relationship with a man named Jack.

And she and Jack are about to go on this trip of a lifetime together in this new relationship they're in. They're going on a two-week cruise through the Mediterranean. And actually a large proportion of the passengers on that flight are supposed to go on the same cruise. It's scheduled to leave from Gran Canaria and make stops in the Canary Islands, Morocco, Sicily, Athens.

Like everyone is just ready for this flight to be over so they can move on with their lives. Yeah. So Joni and her boyfriend have splurged on first-class tickets for the flight, and the luxurious Pan Am 747 has a first-class bar area on the upper deck. Wow. That upper deck you love. At this point on the journey, Joni and her boyfriend have befriended their seatmates, something I don't ever do.

No, God no. You shouldn't. Once they've been diverted to Tenerife, some of those seatmates invite them upstairs to the lounge to hang out. But Joni and Jack decide to stay downstairs in their seats. They're just like, they want to be where they're supposed to be when the flight's supposed to take off. Like they're ready to freaking go. Yeah. So they don't go upstairs to the bar.

Remember that flight to Australia that had a bar in it? You won't remember that, but Vince and I remember that.

Yeah. Yeah. So First Class has a dedicated crew, and among them on the Pan Am flight are best friends Suzanne Donovan and Joan Jackson. These two young women try to coordinate so that they work on the same flights together. That's how much they enjoy each other's company. So...
