A passenger flying between Ireland and the US forgot to put his phone in flight mode – a common mistake that ended in a shock.

Some time after the flight, a bill for approximately 3,000 kronor landed in the man's mailbox.

The incident took place on one of the Irish airline Aer Lingus' long-haul flights between Ireland and the United States.

A male passenger forgot to put his phone in airplane mode – a common mistake that would cost him dearly.

Later, a bill for the equivalent of 3,000 kronor arrived, literally like a letter in the mail from the operator AT&T, reports the Irish Times.

According to AT&T, the aircraft has antennas that detect cell phones without flight mode even when they are not in use.
