If you pay to fly first class don’t go with British Airways

I feel sorry for the poor guy that this happened to. An old lady, unfortunately, died during a British Airways international flight and the crew moved her dead body from economy to first class. They placed it next to a guy who was sleeping only to wake up and get what could be the scare of his life. Apparently, the crew strapped the dead body on the seat but it kept sliding forward because of turbulance. This is definately no way to fly in first class. BA says that on average 10 people die during the year on their flights and yet they still have no way to handle the situation. The crew was trying to do the best they could given that the economy section was full.

Apparently, BA apologized to the passengers about the incident. I sure hope they offer the one guy free first class tickets for life. Although, if I was him, I would probably never fly BA again!
