British Airways passenger, 7, was ravaged by BED BUGS [View all]

Furious mum slams British Airways after daughter, 7, was ravaged by BED BUGS and left bleeding on flight

Although she discreetly flagged the issue to cabin crew, she said they were unable to re-seat her, her fiance Eric Neilson and her daughter Molly Reid, 7.
The incident occurred while the trio were aboard a BA flight departing Vancouver on Monday night.

"Once we got to the Airbnb that we were staying in, we went to sleep.
"My daughter had a few bites on her thighs but when she woke up she was covered, she had them all over. It was just so bad and awful, my daughter was bleeding.

A BA spokesman told The Sun: "We have said sorry to our customers for their experience.
"British Airways operates more than 280,000 flights every year, and reports of bed bugs on board are extremely rare.
"Nevertheless, we are vigilant and continually monitor our aircraft.​

"The presence of bed bugs is an issue faced occasionally by hotels and airlines all over the world."
