The following evening, Neufeld updated his followers that his flight back to Sydney had been delayed by another hour.Įventually, Neufeld was able to get on a flight, but he said that due to his unique circumstance, his passport had to be kept by an airline staff, who will hand the document over to Australian immigration when the flight arrives in Sydney. However, a succeeding clip from his Instagram stories showed Neufeld taking a “shower” using only wet wipes, as it appeared no toilet with proper bathing facilities were available. Neufeld even included a short snippet from the film where Navorski had to take a shower using the airport sink. The movie draws inspiration from the experience of Mehran Karimi Nasseri, who spent a remarkable 18 years residing in Terminal 1 of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in France, from 1988 to 2006. Neufeld also likened his ordeal to that of Viktor Navorski, a character played by actor Tom Hanks from the 2004 film, “The Terminal.” In the film, Navorski was trapped inside New York’s JFK airport when war broke out in his country. Neufeld, known for his brief stint on talent show The Voice as the ‘hot door guy’ and appearing as best man on reality show Married At First Sight, was gutted to have missed his gig, and decided to document his unexpected airport stay via social media.Īt the beginning, Neufeld appeared good natured about his fate, gamefully reviewing food choices inside the airport lounge that he was allowed to stay at.Īs his airport stay went on though, Neufeld said it was beginning to “mentally affect” him, saying that he is missing his “dog and the missus”. He said authorities could only book him a flight back to Australia the following evening, so he had to stay in a transit area within the airport. “They are making me stay here in Vietnam for 27 hours, a day and a bit,” Neufeld said via Instagram stories.
