Perth Now reports an Air India flight from Delhi to Bangalore was rerouted when a pilot couldn’t get back into his seat after a trip to the bathroom.  With the door hopelessly jammed, a trainee pilot safely landed the plane in Bhopal, in central India.

Maintenance crews on the ground were able to get the door unstuck, the site reports.
