He should've travelled via robot camel

gulfnews : Dubai's Arabic-speaking robot takes a flight to Riyadh

A bit of silly stuff here about a robot taking a plane trip. I hope security gave him a thorough body cavity search first:
A first for Emirates, Ibn Sina, one of the world's most advanced robots, travelled as a First Class passenger on the flight accompanied by Dr Nikolaos Mavridis, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the UAE University College of Information Technology in Al Ain where the machine was developed, along with two of his assistants.

Able to verbally interact with people, Ibn Sina stunned fellow passengers as he was checked in at Emirates' dedicated First Class check-in counter and relaxed in Emirates' First Class lounge prior to boarding his flight.
