Qantas passengers in toilet turmoil
A Qantas customer was forced to urinate in a sick bag after the airline refused to let passengers out of their seats during an extended landing.
Flight QF183 heading from Sydney to Queenstown, New Zealand, was diverted to Christchurch three hours into the journey due to bad weather.
The plane had to circle around the airport before landing, with passengers forced to stay in their seats.
One man, Richard Donald, said passengers had to wait for more than an hour without being able to move.
“It was a smooth flight up and there was no reason to keep everyone waiting for so long, but the pilot kept the lights on and wouldn’t let anyone get out of their seat,” he said.
The pilot circled the airport, he said.
“And then, when we finally did touch down, there was a rush to the loos. The lines were about 10 to 15 long on either side.
“There was a lady behind me screaming, ‘I have to go to the toilet’ and then I saw a man doing his business in one of the airline sick bags.”
A Qantas spokeswoman said she was unable to comment on the incident.
