British Airways grounded two jumbo jets after a passenger complained of being badly bitten by bed bugs during two separate long-haul flights.
The airline fumigated one of the planes on which it confirmed there had been an infestation and apologized to the woman for her ordeal.
Businesswoman Zane Selkirk revealed her body was ‘crawling’ with bugs and ‘covered with bites’ during a ten-hour transatlantic flight from Los Angeles to London Heathrow in January.
The 28-year-old believes she was also bitten on a second flight in February during a business trip from Bangalore in India to Heathrow.
