Woman gets banned from airline for life for getting up too often on flight
A passenger has received a lifetime ban from British Airways following an argument related to the amount of times she got up during her flight.
Bridget Nhire, a 33-year-old fashion blogger, got into an argument with another passenger their flight from London to Dubai.
Ms Nhire claims she hadn't done anything wrong, but passengers on the flight say otherwise suggesting she became intoxicated, made racists remarks to the crew, got up from her seat at least 20 times and reportedly even tried to get into the cockpit.
Ms Nhire was eventually strapped to her seat and accompanied by a security guard for the remaining 90 minutes of the flight.
British Airlines said, “Our customers and crew deserve to enjoy their flights, and not suffer from any form of disruption. This sort of behaviour will not be tolerated, and the appropriate action will always be taken. “
“We would never issue a lifetime ban without first carrying out a thorough investigation into an incident, which includes taking witness statements from other customers and reports from crew. If a customer has any future bookings with the airline at the time the ban is imposed, we will issue a refund. As detailed in the letter issuing the ban, customers can appeal the decision.”
