Delta Business Class Passenger’s Lewd Acts Ignored by Crew On New York – Athens Flight

by Gary Leff on June 15, 2024

A Delta Air Lines passenger was caught in a compromising position on a flight from New York JFK to Athens. “Visibly intoxicated,” a few hours into the trip he began “making loud and disturbing noises” and clearly enjoying himself.

A man seated in the row in front of him tried calling over a flight attendant, but no one responded so he eventually got up and went to the galley to let a crewmember know what was going on.

I’ve been trying to get a hold of someone. The man behind us is masterbating. He’s making very explicit noises and is fondling himself over his pants. It is making us extremely uncomfortable.

She promised “to alert the crew lead” but nothing was done, and the man continued “on and off for a few hours” and I don’t know whether that’s genuinely frightening or awe-inspiring?

The man who observed the commotion “captured video evidence of” the passenger, in his early 50’s, continue unabated.

The passenger who filmed and reported this to crew flew United coming home, Athens to Newark, and no business class passengers engaged in similar behavior.

United Airlines has trained flight attendants to stop passengers from watching inflight porn but that didn’t stop one business class passenger from ignoring a crewmember’s requests to turn it off.

A flight attendant once shared on their Facebook feed a story about a passenger taking such a long time in the lavatory that another passenger expressed concern and eventually the crew started to suspect a medical emergency. After much knocking he came out, iPad in hand. He went in there to watch “a movie.”

Sometimes it’s the flight attendant that’s watching porn. Air Canada once warned pilots to stop leaving porn in the cockpit. And Etihad pilots once wrote up their inflight wifi for being too slow to download porn.
