number 13
Unlucky floor skipped
Number 13 is thirteen considered as a symbol of bad luck.
In Western superstition, 13 is the unlucky number—hotels skip the thirteenth floor, airlines omit row 13, and Friday the 13th carries special dread.
The superstition may trace to Judas being the thirteenth guest at the Last Supper, though origins are disputed.
She won't fly on the thirteenth.
