British Airways set corpse in first class seat

A British Airways passenger travelling first class has described how he woke up on a long-haul flight to find that cabin crew had placed a corpse in his row.

The body of a woman in her seventies, who died after the plane left Delhi for Heathrow, was carried by cabin staff from economy to first class, where there was more space. Her body was propped up in a seat, using pillows

Paul Trinder, who awoke to see the body at the end of his row, last week described the journey as “deeply disturbing”.

What did Mr. Trinder expect? The poor lady would not have fit in the overhead compartments.

What other airlines have done differently? Maybe not.
