See something, say something?
One passenger has sold a video to the British tabloids in which a naughty couple purportedly engage in a sex act underneath a blanket on a British Airways flight. But if there truly was offense, shouldn’t it have been reported onboard? I tend to think that is the better approach if there really is concern over the tender eyes of children, not that filming it should be discouraged…
Passengers Watch Couple Engage In Lewd Contact Under A Blanket On Britsh Airways, Say Nothing, Then Complain About It After Flight
A couple was seen cozying up on a British Airways flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to Dublin (DUB) with hands underneath the blanket and likely engaging in a game of Jackin’ the Bean Stalk. One passenger named “Farrah” decided to take out her mobile phone and record it.
“I was turning to look at my brother every time I was speaking, and then I saw a lot of sort of vigorous movement in the other seats on the other side. It was very blatant. She was constantly — for 15 to 20 minutes of the flight — just constantly at it with the guy.
“When they got told to put their seat belts on, it was very obvious that he was zipping himself back up and putting everything back in It was just disgusting to be honest.”
Kids were reportedly “running up and down” the aisle:
“You had kids running up and down the aisles, they were between four and eight years old. A couple of them looked like five or six, and then maybe there were a couple that looked like they were eight or nine. At that age, when they’re running past, they are going to look at something like that.”
Funny, I can’t recall a single flight in which four kids were running up and down the aisle…
I’m happy to cover this because people love cliking on salacious headlines and that makes me money, but it seems to me that if there was such great offense caused by this couple’s conduct, perhaps they should have flown first class notified a flight attendant. In fact, British Airways said:
“Our cabin crew colleagues were not alerted to any issue on board. Had they been informed, they would have taken the appropriate steps to address it.”
And that’s the right answer. Such “open and notorious” behavior cannot be condoned, even under a blanket. I mean, come on peeople, at least go the lavatory…
But this all strikes me as much ado about nothing if you’re not willing to speak up in the moment…and that’s probably true for a lot of things we complain about after the fact.

Jackin the bean stalk – that kills me lol
“I’m happy to cover this because people love cliking on salacious headlines and that makes me money,”
This is how low you and VFTW have stooped down to, it is just pathetic.
May be start a gossip blog to cover these kind of stories. I do not come on boardingarea to read this idiotic stuff.
Just to post this comment I had to click on this stupid article
So don’t click on these stories. I’m also pumping out more trip reports than anyone else here, so just click on what you want. Chances are if it’s a clickbait headline, you’re not going to like it…

I appreciated the honest comment as to the intent of the post. Also, the honesty in the title. At least you know what you’re clicking on and can decide.
The click bait I detest are the ones that are dishonest. That hide something from you to force the click then it’s not as it appears. I know those bloggers now and will never click, even if it looks legit.
I don’t need to defend Matthew as he is more than capable of doing it himself. Just offering another perspective.
Hmm. Where was Lauren Boebert that day? And why were small children running up and down the aisle? Probably a set up to sell a story.
Lauren Boebert wouldn’t use a blanket…she’d try to cover it with vaping smoke.
She was watching Beetlejuice elsewhere.
But she does like the beanstalk!
I’m shocked and appalled. He lasted 15 to 20 minutes? I know people are preparing for the Olympics in Paris this summer,but there must be other means to achieve conditioning.
Well BA doesn’t have first class on short-haul flights, and business class is just a blocked middle seat, which would have made “jacking the bean stalk” much more challenging!
Didn’t you brag about a sex act with your wife (mile high club) in a post here? Does that make you a “naughty couple”?
Did you read this post carefully?
What did I miss?
Tell us more!!!!
Oh no, think of the kids! It’s not like the bean stalk was out in the open. I’m sure the little ones running up and down the aisle took no notice of the blanket motion in row 23. Not that it’s acceptable behavior, but I hate it when people use “poor impressionable children” as a reason to make something worse than it is. But yeah, keep it in your pants fellas in an open cabin, this is what tiny lavs are for. Also, it’s like a 45 minute flight, c’mon…
Are you suggesting your situation was different due to the type of sex act performed?
I’m not suggesting anything. How about you?
Santastico is suggesting you’re a naughty boy.
So I was drunk off my ass many years back on a Lufthansa flight from LAX to FRA and received this in-flight service from my seatmate, whom I met approximately one hour before the service delivery commenced. I think the flight attendant was well aware of what was happening, but she said nothing and this was pre-cell phone, so that was that. This is a story I enjoy telling but is also an excellent example of why I am grateful I’ve been sober over 20 years. Of course I’m also 20 years older and less likely to be considered an attractive object of digital dexterity.
They were busy on such a short flight! My question is why were parents letting their brats run up and down the aisle? That’s a bigger offense than jackin the bean stalk!
That was my thought as well
On a short flight like this, kids run up and down the aisle to seize an opportunity to use the toilets and get back to their seats. Especially because there is very limited time with accessing the toilets on the flight because of the aisle traffic with the airline serving carts.
“Jackin’ the Bean Stalk”? LMAO. That sounds like it could actually be some corny name from back in the 90’s.
It was “constantly — for 15 to 20 minutes”? Lucky guy.
Could this be a new way for some to make money to cover their trip costs: a group of traveling acquaintances set up a faux “masked”/“hidden” sex scene in a plane or at an airport, film it, and sell the footage — of implied sexual acts which weren’t actual sexual acts — to the highest-paying tabloid?
