Air France captain slams ‘shameless' business class flyer for being a slob

One business class flyer turned their seat into a disaster zone — and now the internet's gagging on the in-flight fallout.
An Air France Boeing 777 tri-captain (type rating instructor) blew the whistle on one seriously messy passenger this week, posting four jaw-dropping photos to X (formerly Twitter) that show what one might call a snackpocalypse in the skies.
The shots — uploaded by Pierre-Yves André (@zepyaf), who claims to be a Boeing 777 TRI Captain — show several open snack boxes, half-mauled cookies, a plethora of biscuit bits and crumbs, crumpled wrappers and a lonely half-drunk bottle of Evian.
Amid the crumbs and chaos? A pair of black headphones — the only thing this sky slob left in place.
'Hello @PassengerShame,' André captioned the post, tagging the notorious account known for spotlighting the worst offenders of mile-high manners.

Viewers of the photos were understandably horrified, and replied to the original tweet while sharing their thoughts.
'Why are people so vulgar???' one wrote as another added, 'I'd be embarrassed to leave a seat like that.'
3 Shocked viewers had a field day in the replies, roasting the mile-high mess with snarky tweets and sky-high disgust.

Someone else replied, 'Oh my god… Shameless…' and followed up with a sympathetic note, 'I feel bad for the cleaners!'
An additional X user wondered, 'Could this have been a child sitting here who was traveling with an adult? No adult would do this, or…?'
Turns out there are plenty of adults who make flying the skies less-than-friendly.
As previously reported by The Post, one Los Angeles influencer sparked sky-high outrage last month after whipping up a DIY salad — complete with boiled eggs — mid-flight from LA to Paris.
The mile-high meal, which she assembled from Ziplocs of arugula, avocado, and celery at her seat, stunk up social media before the viral video was taken down, per Jam Press.

The @kitschenista's airborne plate didn't go over-easy with viewers — many scrambled to the comments to roast her 'smelly' snack.
'New fear unlocked: I get on a plane and the person next to me starts making an egg salad,' one wrote beneath her viral Instagram post.
Another chimed in, 'Ya eggs/ fish in a small space like that makes you hella disrespectful. If you wanna bring dinner, heck ya, but like, c'mon girl.'
As The Post also noted back in October 2024, a Playboy model caused turbulence in first class after cracking open a stinky, egg-filled lunch mid-flight — leaving fellow passengers scrambling for fresh air.
Vanusa Freitas told Jam Press a flight attendant confronted her about the foul odor wafting through the cabin on a flight from London to Spain.
The fitness influencer claimed the smelly meal was part of her 'very strict' diet, which helps her stay ripped for her 116K Instagram fans.
But her fellow flyers weren't impressed — and hit her with the ultimate side dish: the stink-eye.
In the skies these days, it seems, common courtesy is in even shorter supply than legroom.
