This is your captain spanking! British Airways crew suffer sleepless night after being accidentally booked into a sex dungeon for layover
A British Airways crew were left with a sleepless night after being accidentally booked into a sex dungeon during a layover. The staff tried to get some sleep in bondage-style beds were too tired after not sleeping enough and weren't able to work the next day. The incident was down to a mistake by the airline staff who accidentally booked the crew into the Motel in the Italian city of Milan, but had confused it with the Hotel last Thursday. The crew, made up of 12 people who spent the evening in the hotel, which includes a vagina-shaped spa bath, the Sun reports. A source told the Sun the staff were 'confronted with bondage sets, mirrored ceilings, human dog cages and leather harnesses', adding: 'It was obvious that this wasn't the place the crew was supposed to stay'. They described it as a 'comical mistake', but it meant the team could not get any sleep, which is 'essential to the safety of aircraft and passengers'. They added: 'They were kept awake by thrillseekers moaning and groaning all day and night. 'Staff reported constant noise, and witnessed 'drug deals and prostitution', as well as a '24-hour orgy. 'There were adult workers outside propositing staff. Crew even reported suspicious fluids in their rooms, which made their skin crawl.' Despite the mistake, there was no delay to the flight. A spokesperson for BA said: '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.'
