For the second time in three months, Secretary of State John Kerry has been stranded on a foreign tarmac by his Air Force jet and has had to catch a commercial flight back to Washington.

Thursday, Kerry was trying to get home from Vienna, Austria, after a day of negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. But his plane had “mechanical problems,” according to a spokesperson, so he had to ride home with the masses.

It’s not the first time Kerry’s had to wait at an airport like the rest of the traveling public. Back in August, a 757 taking his staff, press delegation and him back to the United States was having electrical problems, so he had to stop in Hawaii to get on an United Airlines flight.
