United Airlines Passenger Banned after Urinating on Other Flyer during Flight
In the News
We all know about the reputation of low cost airlines here in the UK and have heard many horror stories about drunken behaviour etc over the years
But this story tops anything i have heard here in the UK, in fact its' unbelievable
This poor passenger woke up to find another passenger urinating on him
Not just a little but being soaked from the chest to his feet
And this was in business class and not standard
There was no explanation for it , the toilets were close and he did not know the assailant
So what did United Airlines do about it , they told him to stay away from the man as he could turn violent !!
So he was not arrested or restrained and the victim had to spend the rest of 15 hour flight in urine soaked clothing
Oh, and the punishment was the assailant was banned from all United Airline flights !
Only in America !!

Unbelievable behaviour from both the passenger and the airline staff. Fingers crossed the victim will sue and win.
I thought all American flights had air marshalls, but maybe only in films, if true he should have handcuffed the guy to a seat and had officials meet the flight. Surely that counts as assault.
Grim. People are revolting. Not surprised. Working with people you realise how vile humans can be. Honestly just cos someone's in business class doesn't mean they have standards
That is disgusting but i don’t see what more the airline could have done. I wouldn’t expect the air stewards to tackle the man and that could have led to further issues. Leaving the victim in urine stained clothes was very bad though
jms19 Personally i wouldn't of trusted the crew to make this decision , if he was crazy enough to do what he did , what next, forcing open the exit door or assaulting a passenger ? , you would just not take the chance and i am sure amongst a plane full of passengers one or two could have assisted the crew
But saying that i suppose you needed to have been there to make a decision
No doubt he'll just use another airline and piddle on someone else.Won't always go so sweetly though I am sure!
I couldn't even imagine how that person felt having had that done to them. There should have been more that could have been done to protect him and others on the flight.
That's disgusting, I can honestly say I have never encountered any problems flying, no bad behaviour ect....
