I’m a big fan of The Daily Mail. It’s basically a one-stop-shop for all my non-aviation passions (I’m a pre-teen girl at heart, what can I say?). So naturally, I get excited when they cover something that involves aviation as well!

Yesterday The Daily Mail carried the story of a TV news presenter who flew in first-class from London to St. Lucia, only to find the cabin in a filthy state.

When I first saw the headline I figured it couldn’t really be that bad, and that he was probably just being dramatic.

Nope, he definitely wasn’t being dramatic. Check out the video:

Unbelievable…

@YVR604 Ive flown airasia biz class and it was the cleanest cabin ive ever seen. This is just plain lazy. Then again why use your points on BA?

@ Lucky -- perhaps this can be an impetus for you to ask some of your contacts regarding airlines' cleaning policies, e.g. how often do plane get cleaned, what get cleaned & what doesn't, and so on.

BA is introducing a new discounted fare category: clean up yourself class. The FA hands the pax a vacuum cleaner, wipes, feather duster and French maid uniform;, while the purser who agreed it was really bad, seats idle for hours reading the Mail. This reminded me a LANChile FA story. The B767 from MIA to SCL had just departed when a shrieking scream from business class terrified all. A woman had just seen rats nibbling at the food cart. The seasoned FA calmly explained to the hysterical pax, rodents are common in tropical climates. Meal service proceeded as scheduled.

This far into the comments and no one has called it The Daily Fail? As for the "stains" running down the armrest, I wonder if Ben and a certain unnamed BA crew member might be responsible for those. Based on one of the trips reports it sure came across as if they were both feeling a bit randy!

Has BA cut back on cabin cleaning or something? We think Air New Zealand did that a while back and it wasn't pretty.
