Plane Passenger Forced to Sit In Puddle Of Urine For Entire 11-Hour Flight
 

Last February, British Airways had to reminds its baggage handlers to not urinate in the cargo holds because it was corroding the metal of the planes. Maybe now they have to have a talk with their cabin crew?

Problems with mingling paxs ,Not crew id suggest,Quite common on PIA flights for them to defecate in the cabin

Piss poor service. I think they were taking the urine. A stain on their customer experience. Maybe next time they could slash their prices.

It beggars belief that BA at London couldn't come up with a spare seat cushion and cover for an outbound flight.

In that situation, I'd be tempted to inform the Purser/CSD that I was considering exercising my right to offload myself if they failed to reseat me, and that I would inform them of my decision at some stage before we reached the runway.

If it came to the crunch, I wouldn't anticipate any problem recovering my fare based on BA's implied contract that it would provide me with a clean, dry, hygienic seat to take me to my destination.

Am I the only one who thinks there may be more than one side to this story? "I said to the stewardess, 'You're obviously going to move me into business, aren't you? I can't really sit here.'" Ba seats are blue I believe? How would a 'yellow stain' show up on it? I'm not saying the seat wasn't wet, just questioning how wet it was and who wet it!

Assuming that this is correct:

It was a grey seat and there does appear to be a yellow stain but to me it looks like an old stain.

It doesn't matter. That's disgusting any way you look at it. I'd have asked for another seat or offloaded myself. That's absolutely outrageous. And he's asked to clean it himself? Then you have a cabin crew union rep trying to defend that by saying crew aren't well paid?

That's a PR disaster from start to finish

No pee apology from Willie ... :O

Yet again another example of BA's lack of care. Who cleans the aircraft at LHR these days? I bet it's not BA. Why didn't the crew spot this when checking the cabin or don't they even bother these days?

Which TBH as got me scratching my head for the reason AeroSpark has already alluded to (though I must admit regardless of the airline I wouldn't have sat in a wet seat for fear of ending up scratching something else) ...........

I guess there's a chance the seat colour was blue and the image got "corrupted" somewhere along the line..

Or it was a Qatar aeroplane?!

My emphasis in the above yahoo version of the event..so no, not Qatar ( if the wet seat incident did indeed happened as described on a Long haul sector...).

I went into cynicism mode as soon as I got to this bit…….

If true, what the CC could have done, of course, was to upgrade someone with status in the FFP to Business Class then move the unhappy passenger to the vacant economy seat…..

Though this account quotes it as a Heathrow-Cape Town flight:

"Andrew was flying to South Africa to help his parents move to a new house"

The image in that version of events appears to show a yellow seat belt.......which is a bit odd for BA. I suspect either the image has "lost" something in the handling somewhere or it isn't an image of the seat in question,

My thoughts exactly! As soon as I read that it sounded to me like an attempt to get an upgrade that didn't go his way!

Travelled Auckland to Sin Economy many years ago. Guy in
the row ahead of me complained of water from the overhead
panel. Crew kept bringing towels etc to fix it. Eventually the guy
sitting next to me said 'I see this all the time, certain people
bring a loosely stoppered bottle of water which will eventually
leak, hoping for an upgrade'. Crew were having none of it.

Absolutely Mr Reid.

I'd wait until door closing time and insist I be off loaded to maximise disruption while they off loaded my bags too.

Don't think it would take them too long to find me another seat.

How did the seat get stained then if it was a stunt to get an upgrade?

The Stewardess agreed it was pee and the airline has agreed it was pee - the simple fact is that they should have just changed the cushion.

At least he had a seat!

Three years ago I boarded a KLM flight AMS – JFK to find there was no seat cushion at all, just an empty metal frame. I immediately pointed this out to the Cabin Crew, and yes, in my mind there were thoughts of an upgrade, as economy was filling up around me.

However, after a short wait a technician appeared who fitted a seat cushion into the frame. Ah well.
