Re: Woman Gets Refund After Sitting Next to Corpse on Flight If he died after the flight had already taken off, then precautions obviously couldn't have been taken. But they could have come up with a better solution than just laying the corpse across 3 seats. |

Re: Woman Gets Refund After Sitting Next to Corpse on Flight I'm down with it... but that's easy for me to say as I typically see more corpses in a normal day than most do in a lifetime ![]() |

Re: Woman Gets Refund After Sitting Next to Corpse on Flight My hairdresser is also a crew manager with a large airline here in the UK (she only does home visits and fits them around her flying schedule) and she has told us about what happens if someone dies onboard. There are no extra cupboards on planes so if someone dies in their seat on a full flight, the passengers around the body cannot be seated elsewhere and the body cannot be moved so a blanket is put over it until the plane lands. No emergency landings/stops are made if someone dies, the plane continues on to the destination and the body is dealt with there. If the person dies in the toilet or collapses in the aisle on a full plane, in theory the body should be put back into the seat it occupied before death but this can freak passengers out so if it cannot be done, the body can be dragged into the galley (kitchen) and put in a place that doesn't impede the crew in what they need to do during the flight, such as cooking the meals and bringing out the makeup/booze/cigarette trolley for the passengers. This place is usually a corner where the body is "folded up" and a blanket placed over it. My hairdresser said that during one flight she went to sit on a storage bin up the corner of the galley to eat her sandwiches and found that she was actually about to sit on the body of an elderly man who had died on the flight two hours earlier. The staff had tucked his arms and legs into the bin but couldn't get the lid on, so had just put a blanket over the bin with the man's head and torso sticking out. She also told me this wasn't an unusual situation. |

Re: Woman Gets Refund After Sitting Next to Corpse on Flight Her co-workers should have told your friend the body was there! Can you imagine? |

Re: Woman Gets Refund After Sitting Next to Corpse on Flight Theres always plenty of extra room in the Galley. On Aeroflot I got a bit of relief by walking back to the galley and chatting with the crew. |
