Not A Dream Flight

BA Creates Strange Bedfellows

Passengers on a British Airways flight from New Delhi to London were delayed about 13 hours when members of the cabin and flight crew reported they were too sleepy to fly. Crew members said they had not slept enough because of noise at their hotel, said Laura Goodes, a BA spokeswoman.
The 210 passengers, who had not boarded the plane,were sent to hotels. Each was booked a separate room, but passengers at one hotel were forced to double up after rooms ran out. "There's a lot of anger and outrage here," one passenger, Neal Thapar, told The Times of London, after he had to share a double bed with a man he had never met.
