David Beckham annoyed by British Airways



DAVID Beckham has threatened to stop flying with British Airways because star struck hostesses won't stop staring at him.

According to The Sun, the final straw for Beckham came when a stewardess woke him up with a torch so she could take a photo of him.

“David will sign autographs and pose for pictures until the cows come home. He is well known for going the extra mile for fans," a source told The Sun.

“Nevertheless it was a bit disconcerting watching young BA crew members queuing down the aisle for autographs during flights.

“His privacy must be respected, and being startled as he rested during a flight was the final straw.”

British Airways has reminded all staff of their policies on privacy following the incident.

A spokeswoman confirmed there was an incident, and the airline had apologised: “We have a very good relationship with David Beckham.”

yeah I don't really believe it. Did the article not say BA apologised though? That's the only thing that lent credence to it imo.

I've flown world class before (was lucky) and whilst it was awesome it totally wasn't worth the money it would have cost to upgrade had I been paying myself.

First class on BA is insane. We looked into it when my husband and I went to India last year, and it was $24,000 from NYC to Mumbai (um, we didn't buy those). For reference we flew first class to Mumbai on Lufthansa a couple years ago with mileage tickets, but they would have been $13,000 if we had paid for them.

I got bumped up to business class going from the UK to the U.S. years ago on BA. It was amazing. I'd been living in a shitty dorm in Russia for 3 months, and I swear my seat on the plane was bigger & nicer than my room in Russia.

yeah i missed the very last part where it says ba apologised. i'm still skeptical but oops/so i deleted my post

i just can't believe flight attendants who see celebs in first class all the time would risk their job to wake someone up for a photo op
