THEY were jetting off for a holiday in Kingston, Jamaica, and the drinks flowed freely during the ten-hour flight.
Intoxicated, the couple, who were seated in business class, decided to submit their membership for the 'mile-high club' in one of the toilets.
But the British Airways flight staff became suspicious after hearing cries of passion from the loo, and the randy couple was ordered to stop and return to their seats.
Randy quickly turned into angry.
Stunned passengers watched in horror as the couple fought with flight staff.
A passenger told The Sun: 'They were asked politely to return to their seats but went ballistic. They were shouting vile abuse and spitting at staff.'
Another said: 'The captain tried to calm them down but they were just as abusive to him.'
And despite being restrained with plastic handcuffs, the pilot decided he had no choice but to divert the 777 jet to Bermuda.
The couple, who were booked on a two-week holiday, were held by police in Bermuda and put on a flight back to Gatwick yesterday.
Now the duo, from Luton, Beds, have been arrested and face being charged with air rage. They may also have to bear the 20,000 ($58,950) cost of diverting the plane.
If you want on or off my aerospace ping list, please contact me by Freep mail.
classy people
Instead of diverting the plane, they should have given the gene pool a boost and tossed them out from 35,000 feet...maybe we need a new seating section on airlines for liberal breeding pigs......
Wow! That's some tricky flying. I do hope his hands weren't behind his back.
Why not just lock them in the loo from the outside? There's enough spares on a 777.
They were all worked up then had to stop, and then they got pissed and lost control of themselves. Damn, show a little restraint.
LOL!!
That is a lot to pay for a piece of............
"They may also have to bear the 20,000 ($58,950) cost of diverting the plane."
...
"May"? They should pay for diverting the plane and compromising the time, safety and comfort of the other passengers and crew. If more of these imbecils were charged a huge fine they wouldn't board planes drunk, drugged or both. Inconsiderate filth.
"It's all right, Captain. We're engaged."
"Well, disengage and get back to your seats."
Maybe . . . they should fly United.
Hee hee.
I guess there would have been a major safety issue if they'd slid off the sink while they were at it. Y'know, loo slips sink ships.
Did you ever notice on some planes that there is a sign in the lavatory that indicates condoms are not to be flushed?
Bad timing for everybody involved.
Lucky for them US air-marshalls were not on board!
That's one heck of a pilot who could divert the 777 to Bermuda despite being restrained with plastic handcuffs.
As they say, it takes a REAL MAN to pilot a 777.
P-U!
You are SO bad!
I give up. What kind of dollars are they talking about. L20,000 works out to
AUS$ 46,798.40
US$ 35,105.80
HK$ 272,270
CAN$ 40,644.1
I can't figure out the $58,950.
Do they still teach grammar in school these days? I thought it was all sex-ed, condoms, and how the white race has ruined the world.
