Flew over to JFK on the 173 yesterday. Won't go into the details of the flight, which was, bar what I'm about to talk about, pretty good (though there was a difference in style between the two main crew serving us in F, not that I minded), and they had to source a pork from J for the chap sitting next to me....

What I was horrified to see was what greeted me when I opened the suite door to put my coat away:



A used SOCK!!. Plus headphones at the back!. Surely the cleaning (considering it is said the plane had been 'thouroughly disinfected'), should pick up this sort of thing as a matter of course. Fortunately a cleaning towel was available to pick it up and dispose of it.

But that wasn't it. The footrest was hiding more:



OK, so it was only a slipper wrapper, but even so, this really isn't good enough on an aircraft in the time of covid, all the worse it was in F. The crew were suitably horrified by the fact that this had happened. I was concerned what else we might find, but fortunately that was it.
