A foodie pilot allegedly delayed a New York-bound flight by two-and-a-half hours - for gourmet sandwiches.
Pakistan International Airlines' Captain Naushad reportedly demanded the hoagies after finding out there were only peanuts, chips and biscuits on board flight PK711 from Lahore, Pakistan on Saturday.
When crew told him sandwiches could only be ordered from a five-star hotel which could take hours to arrive, he insisted he needed his lunch at any cost.

The Nation reported that crew sent the pilot's request to the national carrier's catering department and then to PIA's management office in Karachi.
Management 'directed the catering department to meet (the pilot's) demand.'
The flight, scheduled to leave at 6.45am, ended up flying out of Allama Iqbal International Airport at 9.15am.
Dozens of passengers reportedly missed their connecting flights at Manchester and New York due to the delay.
