"I was sitting neatly in my seat when I saw a snake. I inherently don't like crawling animals, let alone them, specifically a snake right above my head.

I've watched movies and seen scenes similar to this. But I never thought this could happen to me in real life. What a strange start to my trip to the beach," said another tourist sitting near the spot where the snake appeared.

After receiving notice from passengers, flight attendants quickly approached the area where the snake appeared to examine the situation. One of the crew members bravely approached and tried to lure it into a plastic bottle but failed.
