A fashion stylist has been banned for life from all British Airways flights after a 'minor argument' with another customer over stretching her legs on a Dubai plane.
Bridget Nhire, 33, was left in tears when she was handcuffed and escorted off the flight after the passenger behind her complained that she kept walking around.
The humiliated Reiss consultant told the Daily Mirror:
Ms Nhire, from Uxbridge, said:
British Airways refused to let her on a plane to fly back home when she went to the airport for her return flight earlier this month.Ms Nhire was left stranded at Dubai International for eleven hours and was forced to call her mother to organize a different flight.
She is demanding £350 compensation from the airline as a result.
Her mother, from Uxbridge, Middlesex, said that BA needed to be held 'accountable' for leaving her daughter stranded.
BA said it undertook a full investigation analysing statements from crew and passengers before taking the 'rare' decision to ban her.

The humiliated Reiss consultant told the Daily Mirror:
'They strapped me to the seat and put me in plastic cuffs. I have bruises.'The row took place at 30,000ft on a Heathrow to Dubai flight where the 5ft 3ins stylist was due to visit pals.
'He was telling me to sit down and I said "I have the right to get up and walk around for my health".'That escalated into a minor argument.'She claimed the crew then moved her to the front of the plane and alleged that she was being 'aggressive' and 'may have had a little too much to drink'.
She said: 'I had a drink but was not drunk. I had two glasses of wine with my meal.'Police escorted her from the plane, but freed her without charge five hours later and gave her the life ban - which Ms Nhire has branded an over-reaction

ReplyDeleteSerious case
ReplyDeleteWahala dey!
ReplyDeleteNa real wa!
ReplyDeleteShe deserve this and more if I were to be in command. With the current state of insecurity in the world, she running her mouth 30kft in the air with complete disregard of other passengers'feeling, she deserve a stun gun.
ReplyDeleteThank God it ended well, though I wish the ban is globally effected, believe me, she deserves it.
Truthfully some people are like that, they will give you so much discomfort in plane that u wil regret not being too rich for 1st class. The annoying part is that they will not tell airline officials so that they will be provided tickets by the narrow passage! They will rush for window seats and urinate almost ten times b4 landing. Watching them from my own seat pisses me off n I now imagine What the neighbour will feel.
