JAL stores snack tray in plane toilet

Embarrassed Japan Airlines has apologized after flight crew members secretly stored a cart filled with snacks for passengers inside an airplane toilet.

JAL insists there were no hygiene problems involved with the snacks served on Flight 958 from Pusan in South Korea to Narita on Feb. 6, and admits crew didn't inform the pilot until after it had landed at its destination.

"All the snacks we handed out had double lids, so there were no hygiene problems involved, but we're sorry for not showing enough consideration for passengers," a JAL spokesman said. "We want to make sure that crewmembers report things like this to the captains without delay."
