① Incident Aboard a Flight to Ibiza
On a recent EasyJet flight from London Luton Airport to Ibiza, Spain, a young British couple in their 20s was caught having an intimate moment. These two individuals had only met at the airport for the first time before boarding the plane. They engaged in the act in the airplane restroom, drawing the attention of another passenger who found this suspicious and informed the flight attendants. Their intimate moment was inadvertently exposed to the entire cabin when a flight attendant opened the restroom door. Other passengers waited eagerly, shouting and eventually clapping as the duo emerged.
A passenger captured the incident on video and shared the 30-second clip on social media, where the flight attendant could be seen standing by the restroom door, flabbergasted. The male quickly shut the door upon the intrusion, but the onlooking passengers reacted with laughter, shouting, and waving hands. When the two finally exited the restroom, some even applauded.
The video went viral on social media, turning the couple into instant celebrities. The male, revealed to be 23, was traveling to Ibiza to celebrate his birthday. As the incident gained attention, even the young man’s mother weighed in, stating, “Though it’s embarrassing, I believe they haven’t harmed anyone.” She also criticized the cabin crew for opening the restroom door, drawing some backlash from netizens.
② Passengers Outraged and Lodge Complaints with the Airline
Upon landing at Ibiza airport, the couple was arrested by local Spanish authorities. According to Section 71 of the British Sexual Offences Act, it’s illegal to engage in sexual acts in public restrooms intentionally. If this law is applied to airplane restrooms, violators can face up to 6 months in prison and a fine.
This isn’t the first time such an incident has been reported on a plane. In 2021, a video surfaced of a couple on a Ryanair flight passionately kissing and engaging in intimate contact. The crew on that flight took no measures to stop them. The person who shared the video commented, “Why does Ryanair allow this? I’ll definitely consider this the next time I book a flight.” Others also expressed their anger towards Ryanair. Ryanair’s onboard conduct code states that any behavior causing discomfort to other passengers or the crew may lead to necessary action, including detention.
③ Other Incidents of Inappropriate Behavior on Planes
There have been other instances of inappropriate behavior on flights. On a Southwest Airlines flight from Seattle to Phoenix, a male passenger was reported to have exposed himself and engaged in lewd acts for about an hour, doing so at least four times. Based on the female passenger’s testimony, he began his show shortly after takeoff. This passenger managed to snap a picture and reported the man once he fell asleep. The man defended his actions, claiming the female passenger didn’t mind. Upon landing at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, he was immediately arrested and banned from flying with the airline.
American rapper Desiigner reportedly exposed himself on a flight in another April incident. Although a senior crew member warned and threatened him with arrest, he continued his behavior. Later, under the supervision of the crew, he was moved to the back of the plane. In an interview with the police, Desiigner claimed he exposed himself to the “most attractive flight attendant” because he “hadn’t done anything in a week.” After the incident became public, Desiigner explained on social media, “I haven’t been feeling well for the past few months, and I had to visit the hospital even while I was overseas for a show. I was on medication when I boarded the plane.” He also added, “I’m canceling all shows until further notice. Mental health is critical. Please pray for me.”
