A man has described how his holiday was ruined after a woman pooed herself on a TUI flight and the pilot walked off.
Taking to TikTok Blair (@blairyslife) recalled that his flight to Turkey from Birmingham Airport was initially delayed by two hours due to a technical issue with the plane.
Once boarding the plane, travellers were hoping for a smoother rest of their journey, however chaos struck when a “woman pooed herself”.
Blair said: “All of a sudden there was a commotion behind us, we were in row two. The pilot walked over to the overhead locker and walked off, no comment, nothing.
“Just took his bag and walked off. We were like what is going on.
“Some guy came to the front of the plane and said that some woman had s*** herself, we were like what and he said yeah she’s just s*** herself. We were like ‘nah this can’t be true’.” (sic)
Annoyed passengers who had been sitting on the plane for 30-45 minutes for take-off were then told “everyone had to disembark the plane” taking the delay up to three hours and had to retrieve their luggage.
“We went down to the TUI desk where we found out we could get £150 in credit to go home and get food or could stay in the Novotel hotel in Brum. We chose to go home, a few of the others from the plane stayed in the hotel”, said Blair.
He continued: “This lady actually got put in a hotel about two-three hours before anyone else and she was eating/ drinking fine. It turned out it wasn’t a medical emergency or whatever.
“It is embarrassing and you feel bad but it has caused us to have a 27-hour delay because of someone’s accident. So it is hard to feel sorry when you are in a position where you are losing money and holiday time and you work all year round for your holiday.”
Passengers were told to return the following morning for a 6am flight, taking the total delay up to a whopping 27 hours.
Upon boarding the heavily delayed passengers were informed that the woman would not be able “to fly for three days” spiking concern among passengers on whether she had an illness or not.
TUI have been contacted for comment.
