Airline’s Jane Boulton left red-faced as iconic no-nonsense easyJet star admits she’s missed her own flight for the very first time

Airline’s iconic no-nonsense former check-in manager Jane Boulton has been left red-faced as she admitted to fans she missed her own flight this week.

Jane shot to fame in the early noughties as ITV cameras followed her and the rest of her easyJet colleagues as they dealt with day-to-day operations of the busy low-cost airline.

Boulton, who was based in London Luton, was known for her sharp wit, and less than sympathetic approach to passengers who had missed their flights.

However, it appears the former airline worker-turned social media star has been dealt her karma as she told fans she missed her own flight for the very first time.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, she said: ‘Came to for an interview with Lewis Nicholls yesterday and, guess what guys, for the first time in my life it was not easy because I did not get there on time.

‘We got stuck in the most horrific traffic on the way to Gatwick, there was an accident and literally we came off the motorway to queue up for the Gatwick turn off and it took us probably an hour to get from there.’

Jane added that her 40-minute usual journey took a whooping two hours as she raced to catch her flight.

She continued: ‘We missed the check-in by how long? One minute. And as nice as I was… but no, she wasn’t having any of it.

‘So we missed our little flight with Eastern Airways and had to book on a train, so we should have arrived here at 10 yesterday morning and we got here at about four, three o’clock.’ 

‘So I know how people feel now, and I can honestly say a lot of people out there are probably thinking ‘karma’.’

The mum-of-three went on to reveal she’s staying at the picturesque Cornwall Hotel and Spa while in the tourist hotspot. 

Fans flooded Jane with comments, with many repeating her iconic phrases from Airline back to here.

One wrote: ‘Well I’m sorry but a coffee shop does not look like departures (love you Jane).’

A second posted: ‘Jane, it’s a plane not a bus, much love as always though.’

Fans were left amused and flooded Jane with comments repeating her iconic phrases from the beloved ITV travel show

‘It is easy if you get here on time as Jane Boulton once told a customer,’ joked a third follower. 

While a fourth penned: ‘A coffee shop is not departures!’  

Jane, Now a married mother-of-three living in South London, famously had to put up with some very angry passengers and previously revealed the truth about Airline. 

She no longer works in the airline industry and quit the business in 2014.

She now runs her own company called Party Paradise UK.

The show ended in 2006 and Jane said she still keeps in touch with co-stars Leo Jones and Katrina Leeder.

Jane has now gone viral TikTok with clips of her comeback from the show still being sent around.

The videos have been viewed more than 26 million times.
