British Airways passengers ‘constantly’ in ‘disgusting’ act during flight

Tourists were left “disgusted” after seeing fellow passengers “engage in an inappropriate act on a British Airways flight”. The shocking clip appeared to show a woman “vigorously” fondling a man’s groin during the “red-eye” flight from London Heathrow to Dublin on Tuesday (May 7).

Witnesses claimed the couple were “constantly at it” for 20 minutes as the plane flew over the Irish Sea, despite the presence of young children on board. Farrah, 26, who was traveling with her mother and 32-year-old brother, expressed her shock at the couple’s actions during the roughly hour-long journey.

She said: “I turned to look at my brother every time we spoke and then I saw a lot of vigorous movement in the other seats on the other side.” She added: “It was very blatant. She was constantly – for 15 to 20 minutes of the flight – just constantly with the guy.”

Farrah also noted that the couple continued their activities even though there were children on the plane, including one running up and down the aisle. “When they were told to put their seat belts on, it was very obvious that he was zipping back up and putting everything back together.”

Describing the situation, she said: “It was just disgusting to be honest.” Farrah, from west London, filmed the incident on delayed flight BA832 from Heathrow, which departed at 7.28am, as she embarked on a family holiday to Ireland.

An Airbus A320 plane was the backdrop for a meeting that quickly turned into a splendid spectacle, according to a passenger who wished to remain anonymous. The traveler spotted a couple getting cozy shortly after takeoff on the short-haul flight.

The male passenger tried to remain discreet by draping a scarf across his lap. Recalling the experience, the eyewitness stated: “We had about 38 minutes of flight time left when we noticed this. It was pretty embarrassing for me to sit with my brother and witness that.”

She pointed out the additional discomfort due to the small size of the plane which forced the passengers to get closer. “It was one of the smaller planes, making it much closer than the bigger planes.” Children between the ages of four and nine, she noted, were present on the flight, running up and down the aisle. “At that age, when they’re running around, they’re going to look at something like that.”

Commenting further, she explained: “They covered themselves with a scarf, but it was pretty obvious as an adult what they were doing.”

In response to the incident, a British Airways spokesperson said: “Our cabin crew colleagues were not alerted to any issues on board. They also clarified: “Had they been informed, they would have taken appropriate action to solve it”.
