And saved and exit game for a long time ? How long was it ?
Not too long for me, just a couple of days, and found the mission failed / cancelled.

Did you ever forget your passenger on board...

I'd like to forget my current passenger, but she's a demanding little tart ... I should have learned my lesson about long range site seeing missions, but noooo ... just one more for the cash (22M)

This kind of long mission ( > 20M) got me thinking.. doing 4 or 5 shorter missions (approx 5M each) seems easier and shorter and they won't mind getting scanned.
Once, I collected 4 passengers of long range missions travelling about the same route, hoping to total >100M with one (long) trip. Upon leaving the station, the first scan got one passenger cancelling the contract, and within seconds a second scan got the rest complaining. I return to station dropping off all of them and do shorter missions.
I like the longer missions for the scan opportunities. I'l make $22M from her, but I'm up to over $11M in scan data so far.
I have this image of this passenger just sitting in their cabin, looking out the window. Then the Captain lands, docks the ship, turns off all the lights, leaves, locks the door and buggers off and the passenger is now just sitting there, in the dark like:
And I've honestly got tears from the image in my head.
awwww
Never manged that, but similar....
Passenger wants to go on a long distance trip to a tourist spot. Goto Gal Map, make sure its plottable, plot route. Start missions ...... some time passes ...... hear the voices ..... get to destination. Scan beacon. Nothing from the passenger .... odd. Check cabins -- and you have failed to pick them up after returning from the Galmap press Exit and not Return!
Its always on the 10KLY ones I do it on!

I didin't. Simply because I don't accept such missions. There are no normal bus passengers / tourist that simply want to hire a private cruise. It's always secretive criminal with fancy demands that plainly contradicts with his/her secretive criminal status. I have more stress than fun and income than it's worth so I don't do passenger mission on principle.
Aside from that I double check if I have everything needed before I depart.
Checklists FTW.

I took several short range sight seeing missions a few weeks ago. After the third jump 100ly zigzagging across the bubble I logged off for a week and when I came back there were no more passengers on board. I just left the ship drifting in deep space somewhere mid trip, not sure how they got off the ship but I'm sure I'll find their capsule somewhere on some planet one day.
They eject their cabins. Take a look at your old-out and you'll notice that you're down a few cabins. You restock them via the restock screen versus replacing them in the Outfitting screen.
Oh no ! I remember I "left" a passenger and his associates on some far distant planet because they wanted me to divert somewhere that didn't fit with my plans. They must be still there.
Sometimes you forget about a passenger. It happens. Only slight problem is that the oily smears left behind where the bodies decomposed just cannot be scrubbed out of my beluga's luxury cabins. There's always a bit of a shadow down the back of the armchairs.
