Hi, I’m a experienced travel agent in southern Italy.
On may 28th 1999 I was on a BA connecting flight from Naples to JFK.
As a Business class passenger, I was offered many drinks, before, during and after meals.
About two hours prior landing in New York, I asked to Mr. Glenn Harris (flight attendant) last drink. He refused !
He was very rude and abusive to me so I just shouted on him, he insulted me and as my english is not good at all I didn’t know how to defend my self in the right way.
As we landed in JFK he reported to the american police hoping they could arrest me for ’’Air-rage’’, but... in USA what happened on board is not a crime.
In my way back to Italy four days later, as we landed in London, I was arrested by british police right from my plane seat as if I were the worst criminal or terrorist.
A couple of hours later I found out I had dozens of charges and was risking four year imprisonment.
I was charged for : insulting the kingdom and the holy queen, attacking the staff (bodly-harm they provided false medical certificates), being drank in an aircraft (they gave me many drinks) and many others I don’t remember now.
I was taken to the Heathrow police station for one night and was treated as a real criminal, I suffered word abuses from officials all night long.
The following day I was taken to court and they just found me guilty and drove me to the maximum security prison Wormwood-scrubs.
I was there for 3 months trial suffering the worst I would never wish to my worst enemies !!! .
After 3 months I was deported-escorted to Italy and I simply could not do anything against them !!!
I have been travelling for years and years in every airline every where in the world and the abuse I suffered on British Airways was absolutely (no comment)
Since then, I reccomend all my costumers and friends not to fly that company as you could RISK YOUR LIFE!!!
Two of the flight attendants in the upper-deck, provided police false documentation and tried to destroy myself but at the end of the trial in the courts I was found no-guilty, no evidences were found.
Police did not act against those flight attendants and they continue to fly freely.
I had terrible consequences in my work and family, not to talk about the consequences created to my self and health.
I find BA staff is very unpolite, discriminate (I AM COLOMBIAN CITIZEN) service is so poor, worst treatment for passengers, worst comfort in economy. Who they think they are??
Why do you think they have lowest fares to go anywhere?
Do not ever fly BRISHIT AIRWAYS !!! I WONT !!!
DO FLY THAI, MALAYSIA AIRLINES, SINGAPORE AIRLINES, LUFTHANSA.
