BA crew 'mistakenly booked into love hotel and kept awake by moaning'
A British Airways crew were forced to spend a layover night in an Italian sex hotel after a mix-up, it has been claimed.
At least 12 members of staff were booked into the Motel Mo.om in Milan, which offers a variety of themed suites including a BDSM dungeon-style room complete with a caged bed and a standing cross with wrist cuffs.
'There are no limits in this place, only the heat of pleasure, torments of passion, abandonment to desires,' reads a listing for a €280 (£240) per night room on the motel's website.
It's thought the staff were supposed to stay at the Mo.om Hotel, a regular 'vanilla' four-star hotel next door run by the same brand.
The airline said some staff were 'moved to unapproved hotel rooms following availability issues with our usual accommodation provider'.
It said this happened without the knowledge of company managers.
An insider told The Sun the mix-up was down to a 'comical mistake by the hotel booking team', adding that it had 'serious implications'.
'Some of the team who stayed in the sex dungeon didn't get any sleep, so they couldn't operate on BA services the following day', the source told the newspaper.
'They were kept awake by thrillseekers moaning and groaning all day and night.
'There were adult workers outside propositing staff. Crew even reported suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl.'
It's understood there were no delays to the flight the affected crew were supposed to work on the following day.
British Airways is 'urgently investigating to prevent a repeat', a spokesperson for the airline added.

Where Michelin-star chefs go for sandwiches… including two Belfast spots: ‘Their cheese toastie is a thing of beauty'
In a weekly series, chefs across the island of Ireland who currently hold one or more Michelin stars share their greatest culinary secret: where do they eat when off-duty? For some, it's thick-cut sourdough, slowly fermented for flavour and charred until just on the edge of burnt, stuffed with aged cheese that drips in golden strands, with roast meats, wild mushrooms, kimchi, confit garlic or caramelised onions. For others, it's a freshly made baguette, slathered in cultured butter, filled with ham and home-made pickles, or an Italian panini filled with roast porchetta, crackling and salsa verde. And is a traditional Irish pub really Irish if it doesn't serve a ham and cheese toastie with a side order of crisps?

Bayesian yacht taken to Sicilian town for full investigation into sinking
The vessel was held above the water by one of Europe's most powerful floating sea cranes, which set off from the fishing village Porticello at around 1.10pm local time. It was held in front of the crane as it moved. The vessel was held above the water by one of Europe's most powerful floating sea cranes (Peter Byrne/PA) The vessel arrived in Termini Imerese, a town around 12 milies away at just after 3pm on Sunday. It will then be moved into a specially manufactured steel cradle, which has a tarpaulin underneath for pollution prevention. Salvage workers on site, not accompanying the vessel to port, are conducting a 'full sweep' of the seabed near Porticello for any potential debris, a project insider said. Italian prosecutors previously said raising and examining the yacht for evidence would provide key information for its investigation into the sinking. It will also aid the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report on what happened. Salvage efforts were delayed after a diver died during underwater work on May 9 (Peter Byrne/PA) Simon Graves, an MAIB investigator, previously told the PA news agency: 'When the wreck is brought ashore, we'll be completing a full examination of the wreck and we'll be finding out all of the elements that might have contributed to the safety of the vessel.' Further details such as 'escape routes' will be included in its final report on the sinking, according to Mr Graves, who added: 'Once we get access to the vessel we'll be able to tell a fuller picture of activities on board and the sequence of events.' The vessel was originally expected to be raised last month but salvage efforts were delayed after a diver died during underwater work on May 9, prompting greater use of remote-controlled equipment. About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery operation. Inquest proceedings in the UK are looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals. Fifteen people, including Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, were rescued. Mr Lynch and his daughter were said to have lived in the vicinity of London and the Bloomers lived in Sevenoaks, Kent.
