A British Airways flight from San Francisco to London took a bizarre turn when a 41-year-old flight attendant allegedly got high and danced naked in a business-class toilet. The incident occurred mid-air on May 25, as the plane cruised at 37,000 feet. Colleagues noticed his absence during meal service and found him disoriented and unclothed.
Crew members dressed him in spare first-class pyjamas and secured him in a seat for the remainder of the 10.5-hour flight. After landing at Heathrow, police arrested the man on suspicion of being unfit for duty. He was taken to a hospital for treatment and later released under investigation.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest and said inquiries are ongoing. British Airways declined to comment, calling it a police matter. A whistleblower claimed the man “popped pills” and staged a “one-man disco,” putting passengers and crew at risk.
Crew had to complete the flight without breaks, and passengers were left stunned. One staffer remarked, “It’s a crazy way to end your BA career.”
