During the six-hour flight from Chicago to Reykjavik, things happened that should not happen.
It was December 21 and Marisa Fotieo was going on a Christmas holiday to Iceland.
Iceland requires that you have taken a negative PCR or rapid test within 72 hours before departure, states the airline Icelandair.
Took quick test on toilet
Fotieo does not say when she had tested negative before the flight. But one video she posted on Christmas Eve, suggests that she took a PCR test that turned out negative.
Suddenly the snow began to glow blue
On the plane, Fotieo began to feel a sore throat, which may be an early covid symptom. The American schoolteacher had taken quick tests for safety – and decided to take one.
– I took the quick test into the flight toilet. Within what felt like two seconds, there were two lines on it (indicating a positive test, journ.anm.), Says Fotieo to NBC Today.
Fotieo informs TikTok that she has been vaccinated. It is not clear if she has received one, two or three doses.

At this point, the plane should have been in the air for about an hour, according to Fotieo, which means that there were about five hours left of the trip.
Isolated himself
She therefore decided to isolate herself from the other passengers – inside the plane’s toilet, which is barely a square meter in size.
Got the shock of his life from the x-ray
“There are 150 people on that plane, and my biggest fear was giving it (corona, journ.anm.) To them,” she told NBC Today.
Fotieo therefore locked himself inside the toilet.

To NBC Today, she praises one of the flight attendants on the Icelandair flight, who made sure she had everything she needed and constantly checked in to see that everything was in order.
Discovered spot on the back – got horror diagnoses
The somewhat special isolation experience was documented on TikTok, where a video clips from the flight toilet is so far a staggering 4.2 million times.
Got Christmas tree and presents
“A big thank you to Icelandair for my VIP quarantine room,” she writes.
But the story does not stop there. Because when Fotieo landed, she obviously had to isolate herself again – this time in a quarantine hotel.
Found chicken head in the food: – Wow!
The Icelandic authorities and the Red Cross Iceland offer accommodation to those who need it in hotels in Reykjavik and elsewhere in Iceland, according to Iceland Review.
Even after she arrived at the quarantine hotel, the flight attendant made sure that Fotieo had a nice Christmas holiday despite the circumstances.

– She bought flowers and a small Christmas tree with candles that I could hang up. It was so heartfelt and she really is an angel, says Fotieo to NBC Today.
– She’s an angel
On Christmas Eve itself, Fotieo dressed up for the celebration all alone, she says.
– While I was getting ready, I heard a knock on the door, she says in one TikTok-video.
It was Christmas dinner that the friendly flight attendant had brought for her.
Made shock findings on a forest trip
In addition, she had brought gifts that Fotieo could open on Christmas morning – as is the tradition in the United States.
– I want to do something really special for the flight attendant, because she is really an angel on this earth, says Fotieo in the video.
On December 29, Fotieo posted the latest TikTok update from its quarantine hotel in Reykjavik.
She is still in solitary confinement at the hotel, as Iceland has a mandatory ten-day quarantine for people who test positive for covid-19. It goes off government information pages om corona.
