British Airways flight crew mistakenly booked into sex dungeon for layover
Twelve members of British Airways staff were booked into the wrong hotel in Milan by bosses and were met with bondage cages, human dog cages and leather harnesses
A British flight crew who had a stopover in Italy were accidentally booked into a pay-by-the-hour seedy sex dungeon, complete with vagina-shaped spa baths and mirrored ceilings.
Twelve members of British Airways staff were supposed to be booked into the Motel Mo.om in Milan, but were instead checked into the nearby Mo.om Hotel, also in the Italian city, by bosses. The crew turned up and were met with bondage cages, human dog cages and leather harnesses, instead of the normal clean sheets and hotel toiletries.
The airline workers were reportedly stepped down from their next flight, having not had enough sleep, after putting up with moans and groans from other patrons of the establishment. They were allowed to rest in a more suitable hotel before returning to their scheduled flights.
A source told the Sun: "It was a comical mistake by the hotel booking team, but had serious implications. Some of the team who stayed in the sex dungeon didn't get any sleep, so they couldn't operate on BA services the following day. They were kept awake by thrillseekers moaning and groaning all day and night.
'Staff reported constant noise, and witnessed 'drug deals and prostitution', as well as a '24-hour orgy. There were adult workers outside propositioning staff. Crew even reported suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl.'
A British Airline spokeswoman said: 'A small number of crew were moved to unapproved hotel rooms due to availability issues with our usual provider, without our knowledge. We are urgently investigating to prevent a repeat.'

British superyacht Bayesian resurfaces for the first time since August sinking that killed 7 people
The British superyacht that sank off Sicily last August killing seven people, has resurfaced for the first time as recovery crews prepared it to be hauled ashore for further white top and blue hull of the 56-meter (184-foot) Bayesian emerged from the depths of the sea on Friday in a holding area of a yellow floating crane barge. The coast guard said the actual recovery was scheduled to begin Saturday morning.A spokesman for TMC Maritime, which is conducting the recovery operation, said the vessel has been slowly raised from the seabed, 50 meters (165-feet) down, over the past three days to allow the steel lifting straps, slings and harnesses to be secured under the keel. What became visible on the surface of the water for the first time was the top of the passenger area of the Bayesian where passengers would sit, TMC Maritime spokesperson David Wilson said. The British-flagged luxury superyacht sank on August 19 last year off Porticello near Palermo during a violent storm, killing UK tech magnate Mike Lynch, his daughter Hannah, and five others. Fifteen people survived, including the captain and all crew members except the chef. When it resurfaced, the Bayesian was missing its 72-meter (236-foot) mast, which was cut down and left on the seabed for future removal. The mast had to be detached to allow the hull to be brought to a nearly upright position that would allow the craft to be surfaced, TMC Maritime said earlier this investigators said in an interim report issued last month that the yacht was knocked over by 'extreme wind' and couldn't recover. The report stated that the Bayesian had chosen the site where it sank as shelter from forecast thunderstorms. Wind speeds exceeded 70 knots (81 mph) at the time of the sinking and 'violently' knocked the vessel over to a 90-degree angle in under 15 had been celebrating his recent acquittal on fraud charges with his family and the people who had defended him at trial. UK inquest proceedings are currently looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals.

British Airways trials removing individual water bottles from flights
British Airways is trialling removing water bottles from in-flight drinks services as part of 'efforts to reduce plastic waste'. Economy passengers on long-haul flights connecting London Heathrow with three US cities – Miami, Boston, and Los Angeles – will instead be served cups of water as part of the new sustainability trial. Paper cups provided by cabin crew have temporarily replaced individual plastic water bottles on these select routes for travellers in BA 's economy and premium economy cabins. On a FlyerTalk forum, a passenger flying from Miami to Heathrow said: 'There were no bottles of water they could give me as BA is trialling not offering any bottles of water for two weeks now.' They added that the individual water cuts were 'obviously a cost-saving exercise under the guise of saving the polar bears'. The airline confirmed that a one-week trial reducing single-use plastic onboard is running between 16 and 22 June. BA's Club World and first class passengers are not currently impacted by the experimental plastic bottle ban. A spokesperson for British Airways told The Independent: 'This is a one-week trial on three routes as part of efforts to reduce plastic waste. The views of our customers are very important to us, and we'll be listening very carefully to their feedback.' In October 2024, BA was accused of scrambling to cut costs by frequent flyers after introducing a new brunch service on long-haul flights. The extended breakfast for lunch meals are served on flights that depart between 8.30am and 11.29am. Menu items for the primary inflight meal across seat categories now include cheese frittatas, Belgian waffles and poached eggs on sourdough, rather than a full meal. Several frequent flyers said they considered the changes 'cheap' and a 'major downgrade' of the service. BA said the new brunch service was implemented in line with positive customer feedback on classic brunch dishes and lighter lunch options.

BA crew ‘mistakenly booked into love hotel and kept awake by moaning'
A British Airways crew were forced to spend a layover night in an Italian sex hotel after a mix-up, it has been claimed. At least 12 members of staff were booked into the Motel in Milan, which offers a variety of themed suites including a BDSM dungeon-style room complete with a caged bed and a standing cross with wrist cuffs. 'There are no limits in this place, only the heat of pleasure, torments of passion, abandonment to desires,' reads a listing for a €280 (£240) per night room on the motel's website. It's thought the staff were supposed to stay at the Hotel, a regular 'vanilla' four-star hotel next door run by the same brand. The airline said some staff were 'moved to unapproved hotel rooms following availability issues with our usual accommodation provider'. It said this happened without the knowledge of company managers. An insider told The Sun the mix-up was down to a 'comical mistake by the hotel booking team', adding that it had 'serious implications'. 'Some of the team who stayed in the sex dungeon didn't get any sleep, so they couldn't operate on BA services the following day', the source told the newspaper. 'They were kept awake by thrillseekers moaning and groaning all day and night. 'There were adult workers outside propositing staff. Crew even reported suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl.' It's understood there were no delays to the flight the affected crew were supposed to work on the following day. British Airways is 'urgently investigating to prevent a repeat', a spokesperson for the airline added. check our news page.
