Plane Passenger Forced to Sit In Puddle Of Urine For Entire 11-Hour Flight
N4790P
IIRC the hostess apparently walked up front, came back and upgraded the pax he was complaining about.
Nice story if true.

Easy enough to take a small bottle on board with him and pour it on the seat himself. Maybe I'm being cynical but the fact that his words were "You're obviously going to move me into business, aren't you?" and not "You have to do something about this, I'm not sitting there" speaks volumes to me. It would also explain why it was not spotted by the cleaners or cabin inspection.

I strongly suspect that the PAX sabotaged the seat hoping for an up-grade.
A few years ago my wife and three young daughters flew from Sydney to LHR with BA in economy. Once onboard my wife noticed the seats they were sitting on were hot, the entertainment box below their seats we over heating and the crew were aware of the issue. She was happy to sit there but she just pointed it out to the crew. Before takeoff, they were all moved up to business for the entire flight home without any dramas.
The crews see EVERY trick in the book, day in, day out by some PAX to worm their way in to Premium Econ or Business.

BA - Passenger Obliged to Sit in Pee
Businessman who paid £1,200 to fly to South Africa with BA is given a seat that a passenger urinated on (and he was then told to use wet wipes to clean it up himself)

A businessman who paid more than £1,200 to fly to South Africa with British Airways was given a seat that a previous passenger had urinated over.
And to add insult to injury, he claims that when he protested, a British Airways stewardess handed him wet wipes to clear up the mess himself.
IT consultant Andrew Wilkinson, 39, says it happened when he boarded a flight at the end of July to jet out from Heathrow to see his parents.
After finding his seat in economy, he noticed it was damp. Mr Wilkinson, from South-West London, said: 'I called the stewardess who agreed the dampness was urine. She went to the toilet and came back with some wipes and expected me to clean up the mess myself.
'I told her, "I can't sit here" but she just laughed. Her response was, "I can see you are going to work me really hard on this flight, aren't you?"'
Mr Wilkinson, who paid £1,242 for his round trip, said: 'In the end, I put a plastic bag over the seat and covered it with a blanket.'
After Mr Wilkinson took to Twitter to vent his anger, BA spotted his tweets and offered him 5,000 of their Avios reward points in compensation. It then upped its offer to a flight voucher worth £435, or a free upgrade on his next flight to Cape Town.
He said: 'I am not bothered about compensation. I'd just like a proper apology. The one they sent me was clearly a general response.'
Last night, the union which represents flight crews said Mr Wilkinson's ordeal was evidence of how BA standards had been hit by cost-cutting.
