Challenging day for the crew of BA392 yesterday. Busy flight and two instances of Traveller pax sitting in Club.

One was fair enough - young Mum with two small children who genuinely (I think) thought that she could take two empty seats. Discretely handled by the crew, who also carried one of the youngsters to the correct seat.

Also well handled, not so discretely, was the waster who was trying it on. Prolonged argument with CC - "Can't find my boarding pass. Seat's empty, why can't I just stay here?". Firmly handled - "No you can't! 22C is near the back. Off you go, there's a good chap!"

And then it got really bizarre. Five minutes out of Brussels, seat belt signs on for the last five minutes. Old chap unstraps and starts to 'adjust his dress'. Ended up in the aisle with his trousers round his ankles. He got more attention than the safety video, I can tell you!

Well done to the crew! Hope the remaining legs were easier.
