British Airways passengers left horrified after witnessing 'vigorous' sex act on plane

The sex act left others on the flights horrified, with the couple continuing even as young children wandered up and down the aisle.

Farrah saw the couple's actions while on the flight with her mum and older brother.

"I was turning to look at my brother every time I was speaking, and then I saw a lot of sort of vigorous movement in the other seats on the other side," she said.

"It was very blatant. She was constantly - for 15 to 20 minutes of the flight - just constantly at it with the guy.

"They just carried on, which was shocking because there were children on the plane. There was a child running up and down who could have seen that.

"When they got told to put their seat belts on, it was very obvious that he was zipping himself back up and putting everything back in.

She added: "You had kids running up and down the aisles, they were between four and eight years old.

"A couple of them looked like five or six, and then maybe there were a couple that looked like they were eight or nine."

The 26-year-old admitted it was "embarrassing" to be sat with her family while she witnessed what happened.

"We had about 38 minutes of the flight time left when I noticed it," she continued.

"It was one of the smaller planes, making it a lot closer than the bigger planes."

British Airways said that the incident was never reported to its crew meaning it has not been possible to address the matter during the flight.

A spokesperson said: "Our cabin crew colleagues were not alerted to any issue on board.

"Had they been informed, they would have taken the appropriate steps to address it."
