British Airways hostess suspended for 'brainless' behaviour during hotel drinking session

A British Airways hostess has been suspended for "brainless" behaviour during a hotel drinking session.

The cabin crew member allegedly made an offer to a hotel employee in Belfast during the early hours of the morning.

She reportedly lifted her clothing and bounced up and down while inviting the worker to "have a go on these funbags" if he provided her with wine.

The incident is said to have occurred last month, following a drinking session that began at 9pm.

The crew had operated the final flight from London to the Northern Irish capital.

The hotel employee subsequently reported the alleged proposition to management, prompting an investigation by the airline.

British Airways has suspended all four crew members who were drinking together that evening.

The incident was reportedly recorded on the hotel's security cameras.

The group had been scheduled to work the return service to London the following day, but were removed from duty.

BA was forced to arrange for a replacement cabin crew to be transported to Belfast to operate the flight back to the capital.

The airline continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident.

A source told the Sun: "She went down to the hotel lobby to ask for another bottle of wine.

They added: "The guy told her the bar was closed.

"She lifted up her top and said ‘what if I let you have a go on these funbags?’.

"This behaviour was totally brainless.

“Boozing so heavily before a flight was unacceptable.”

British Airways said: “We expect the highest standards from our crew, and we are investigating this matter.”

It comes after the British Airways boss warned that all airlines will have to increase fares to combat rising fuel costs resulting from the war in Iran.

Luis Gallego, the airline's chief executive, said the business is "managing the uncertainty" caused by rising fuel prices.

He said British Airways would take "necessary action on yields, costs and capacity" but admitted all airlines will "need to increase fares" to "mitigate the impact" of rising jet fuel prices.
