BA crew mistakenly booked into sex dungeon as they spot grim detail in room
Members of a British Airways cabin crew team found themselves in a mortifying situation after being accidentally being checked into a sex hotel, complete with an anatomically detailed tub
Crew members aboard a British Airways flight endured a seriously awkward night, after a booking blunder saw them being checked into a sex dungeon.
While in the stylish Italian city of Milan, it had been decided that the colleagues would spend the night at the Motel Mo.om, a popular modern hotel with good transport links.
Unfortunately, in what has been described as a "comical mistake", the team reportedly found themselves bedding down for the night at the similarly named Mo. om Hotel. Although at a glance, the names of these hotels appear almost indistinguishable, this is where any comparisons end.
It soon became clear to the crew that this was no ordinary establishment, as they took in the bondage-themed beds and vagina-shaped spa tub. And if these features didn't drive the point home, the incessant "moaning and groaning" from fellow patrons certainly did.
A source told The Sun: "Crew were booked into a pay-by-the-hour sex hotel last Thursday. They were confronted with bondage sets, mirrored ceilings, human dog cages and leather harnesses. It was obvious that this wasn't the place the crew was supposed to stay."
Although there are humorous elements to the mishap, this sleeping situation was decidedly less than ideal for airline staff, for whom adequate rest is imperative.
As the source explained: "It was a comical mistake by the hotel booking team, but 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. They were kept awake by thrill seekers moaning and groaning all day and night."
As well as struggling through "constant noise" as a "24 hour orgy" raged on, employees allegedly also had to deal with witnessing "suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl".
A British Airways spokesperson told the Mirror: "A small number of crew were moved to unapproved hotel rooms following availability issues with our usual accommodation provider. This happened without our knowledge, and we're urgently investigating to prevent it from taking place again."
It's understood that 12 crew members spent one evening in the unapproved accommodation, due to availability issues with the airline's usual provider.
There was also thankfully no delay to the flight that the staff members had been scheduled to operate, meaning they were able to get back to normal after their unexpected stay.

Common beach activity at holiday hotspot could see tourists fined over £2,500 – or risk getting stopped at the airport
LIFE'S A BEACH Common beach activity at holiday hotspot could see tourists fined over £2,500 – or risk getting stopped at the airport UK HOLIDAYMAKERS could face a hefty fine if they carry out this one common beach activity. Brits travelling to Sardinia, Italy this summer will be looking forward to the island's sprawling white beaches and scorching temperatures. 1 Collecting shells in Sardinia was made illegal in 2017 Credit: Getty But whilst the area is known for its beautiful coastline and clear waters, tourists have been urged not to take advantage of the Italian landscape. While collecting shells might appear like a harmless beach activity, in Sardinia, it could cost you over £2,500. Local law prohibits taking shells or pebbles from any beach on the island in a bid to protect the area's ecosystem and prevent the beaches from eroding. Studies suggest removing shells from a seashore could impact an area's ecosystem as many animals live inside the husks. Read more on Travel BURN OUT Aspinall makes major gaffe during 30C heatwave as he shares embarrassing picture In 2017, Sardinia made it illegal to take sand from its beaches after thousands of tourists were caught trying to transport boxes of the stuff back home. Just a few years later customs police on the Mediterranean island slapped 41 travellers with penalties of up to €3,000 (£2,580) in just a few days alone. Collectively they attempted to swipe 220lb (100kg) of beach items in separate incidents. Locals grew fed up with tourists trying to take a piece of the beach home with them - and then attempting to flog it for a profit. There is even a dedicated Facebook page - called "Sardinia robbed and plundered" - to highlight the problem, which has amassed 37,722 followers. Visitors have been caught at airport and harbour customs checks, while police and the military have also been monitoring websites for unlawful sales. Spanish Beaches Close Due to Dangerous Sea Creature Cops reported dozens of illicitly advertised beach items - some with "high prices". Islanders warned the issue is creating an environmental emergency. Pierluigi Cocco, an environmental scientist and resident of the Sardinian capital Cagliari, told the BBC that the beaches were "the main reason why tourists are attracted to the island of Sardinia". He said that although taking sand home served as a reminder of a "treasured memory", it could contribute to the reduction of beaches in the future. In 2019, a French couple were caught with 40kg of sand in the boot of their car. Police found the sand crammed into 14 plastic bottles taken from a beach in Chia, southern Sardinia. The couple claimed they wanted to take it home as a "souvenir" and did not know they had committed an offence.
