On a serious note I flew to HK with a British airline some years ago and chatted to the crew on board in the galley. We were staying in the same hotel and as it was Saturday night they invited me out with them. It was one of the crazier nights I had, they knew how to party hard! No prostitution occurred for the record!

I knew immediately it was BA (assuming it's true) because VS has never had a first-class cabin of any sort.

As in a 241?

Only upstairs in club on a380, the toilets there are just about big enough for a threesome I guess.. The First class down stairs are far too small.

“One girl got paid working as a dominatrix.”

I can believe that.

Agreed. THis is why we need your memoires in a book preferably, that can then be serialised in a quality sunday broadsheet .... ultimately it would be way more classy and without doubt a lot more entertaining!!

Delighted to see that the Sun feels the need to tell their readers what a 747 is.

Interesting. It seems clear to me that such activity would require significant arrangement that would make it an extremely impracticable and rare event. I do remember the credible reports of a pretty-well established and elaborate escorting ring that matched FAs with first class passengers on a ME airline, and there were similar accounts to this one emanating from Japan too. This is the first I've heard of anything like this taking place on BA, assuming there's truth to the reports. I imagine it's a drop in the ocean, if it's happening at all.

It was in the NY Post over here. Surprised they didn't run it as a headline. Rupert Murdoch — the only immigrant I'd like to see sent back.

This actually isn't unusual. I've gone out on the p*ss with crew from quite a few airlines over the years after getting chatting on the plane.

That is fair enough as I guess BA did have a First Class cabin once upon a time many years ago!

Geez..... My last BA first class flight the crew were very senior and a bit grumpy. That said regardless of the airline it’s never ever crossed my mind to solicit sexual favors.

True, but many of their infrequent UC passengers refer to it as ‘First Class’.
