A businessman from Durban got a chicken dinner and a show on a recent FlySafair flight when the poor guy was seated next to a couple that seemed to have been ‘aroused’ by the experience of gliding through the sky.

The unnamed couple apparently checked their self-respect and modesty along with their luggage and in full view of everyone, ‘conducted lewd acts’ while the poor businessman was most likely trying to go over his meeting notes.

The 16:25 flight from Johannesburg to Durban got off to a bad start for the man as the woman apparently gave her partner a ‘handjob’ before the plane even finished taxiing to their runway. For safety reasons the businessman was forced to remain strapped in while the jet took off, so there was no escaping the ‘show’.

“A woman sitting next to me was giving [the] male passenger a handjob whilst on the runway waiting to take off. I could not leave my seat for safety reasons. I had to hear them kiss and laugh for about five minutes, while aware of what was going on. This continued while the plane took off… I felt sick.”

The man recorded the escapade in order to show the cabin crew and as soon as the seatbelt signs were off, he complained to a steward.

“A soon as we could leave the seat, I jumped out of mine and ran towards the back to make the air hostesses aware and show them the videos I had taken to prove it was really taking place.”

The crew immediately apologised and moved the man to another seat, but it appears as if that was as far as the matter was taken, and only after causing a fuss in the media, did the airline take steps.

“I was expecting that they [would keep] the passengers on the plane [after landing] or call the SAPS to the plane when [the passengers disembarked], but nothing happened. They were free to go like any other passenger. I’m now [psychologically] scarred due to this incident.”

According to News24, the plane had several children on board and the businessman has expressed disgust at the thought that this wasn’t dealt with more harshly as any of the kids could have seen what the randy couple was getting up to. Not only that, getting frisky on an airline is against the law, and at the least, there should have been a stronger rebuke.

FlySafair only spoke to the guilty passengers after a News24 story broke, and they have now been banned from all FlySafair planes.

“Sexual activity on flights was unusual and “people are generally very decent on flights”.

The triggered businessman is however not too happy with how everything was dealt with.

[The airline] has a ‘no care’ attitude. I feel they could take a bit more responsibility. It’s just gross [the lewd act].

Joining the mile-high club sounds like fun, but a captain is well within his rights to divert a plane or have SAPS at arrival if they believe that the safety of their passengers is in question, and they will often lay charges against anyone who misbehaves on a flight.

So please keep it in your pants the next time you climb into a tiny metal tube with 300 other people. You’re not in the bathrooms at Cubana. Or Christina Aquilera.
