Jetstar Asia flight 3K512 was supposed to leave Pattaya at 9.15am yesterday, but it flew out of U-Tapao International Airport at 4pm - seven hours behind schedule.

The plane was waiting for passengers stuck in chaotic traffic in Bangkok.

Even then, not all passengers who were supposed to be on the flight made it.
