British Airways has done “nothing” to compensate a flyer for the “extreme trauma” she claims she experienced watching a fellow passenger die on her flight, in line with her online rant that has taken off on social media.
In a screenshot of a since-deleted post that was made within the “British Airways Complaints Advice” Facebook group, an unidentified woman claims the incident happened on a Dec. 21 flight from Jamaica to London.
“A passenger directly [two] rows behind us passed away in probably the most horrific way, giving us probably the most traumatic experience during a flight,” the poster wrote.
British Airways told The Post in an announcement Thursday that safety is its “highest priority, and our crew colleagues were focused on providing first-aid.”
The airline also stated its crew did its best to keep up onboard services while tending to the medical emergency. The airline didn’t reply to a Post request for more details.
The flyer said she was traveling with five kids and her pregnant sister. In line with her account, the flight took off nearly three hours after its scheduled time, which “ruined their routines” and made the children fussy.
She reported the airline gave the family a “limited amount” of food vouchers that equated to only “a meal,” and she or he lamented the cleanliness of the plane when it arrived for boarding.
The poster claimed that after the flight was underway, her nephew was awoken and moved from his seat, so he didn’t have to look at an unconsciousness woman receive CPR for over an hour.
“I’ve never in my life witnessed someone being shocked or having CPR performed and never would I’ve expected that to [have] happened on [a] flight returning home,” her criticism reads.
She claimed “flight services were halted and other than the initial meal, drinks … were discontinued, so we didn’t receive an intensive flight experience that we had paid for.”
The “infuriated” author says the incident left her family “extremely sad” and traumatized, and so they experienced “many sleepless nights.”
“I might have expected some type of communication from [British Airways] to those of us which were on the flight, particularly close enough to have been impacted and witnessed the entire experience to envision on our wellbeing, apologize for the experience and offer some type of compensation or counseling following it,” the post reads.
It continued: “We even have been led to imagine had the flight not have been delayed and this poor lady had been capable of eat on time and never had the chaotic experience leading as much as and boarding the flight, her life may not have been wasted, and she or he should be here today.”
The complainer asked for reimbursement of tons of of dollars in “out-of-pocket expenses” for a disrupted trip.
The rant went viral this week when someone spotted it on Facebook and posted it to the FlyerTalk forum.
People on Twitter slammed the girl for expressing inconvenience a few death.
“That poor person lost her life and all she was frightened about was getting her breakfast before landing into London. Me Me Me Me,” one person noted.
“All I can see in that text is ‘me me me me me me me … me & me’,” one other echoed.
“Is that this even an actual verified event or some top class trolling?” one questioned.
