Qatari royals halt British flight

Qatari royals halt British flight
BA planes
The British Airways flight was destined for Heathrow airport
A British Airways flight was delayed for several hours after women
members of the Qatari royal family objected to sitting next to men
they did not know.
The three wives of Sheikh Badr Bin Khalifa al-Thani refused take up
their seats on board Flight 563 from Milan's Linate airport to London
Heathrow.
Police and Qatari diplomats became involved before the captain told
Sheikh Badr's entourage to leave the aircraft.
The Qatari royals eventually ended up getting an Alitalia flight to
London.
They had been on a shopping day-trip to the Italian city.
'Safety instructions'
In addition to his three wives, Sheikh Badr, a junior member of
Qatar's 3,000-strong ruling family, was accompanied by a male
relative, a cook and another servant on the flight.
After boarding, the women complained about the seats they had been
allocated because they were next to men they did not know, a spokesman
at Linate said.
The people were offloaded because they failed to comply with safety
instructions when the aircraft was taxiing
British Airways spokesman
Cabin crew tried to move the passengers to different seats, but those
travelling with other people refused to change.
Sheikh Badr then reportedly got up and walked to the pilot's cabin to
complain.
A delay of nearly four hours ensued as two members of the Qatari party
refused to sit down.
A BA spokesman said the captain eventually had no option but to return
to the terminal.
"The people were offloaded because they failed to comply with safety
instructions when the aircraft was taxiing," he said.
Later in the evening, the royals travelled business class with the
Italian carrier, Alitalia, with their staff in economy.
The Qatar embassy in Rome said it was a "private matter".

Re: Qatari royals halt British flight
Why did it take 3 hours to dump the unruly passengers?
On a US airline, it would have taken ten seconds, and then they
would all have been handcuffed and dragged off!!
Good for the other passengers who refused to exchange seats.
If the Qataris wanted special seats, then they should have chartered a plane,
or booked for specific seats in advance, just like normal people.

Er, the elevated level of debate here aside, I'm a bit surprised that
this is not something they would have wanted to sort out before boarding
the plane. In the good old days I got bumped up to business class on a
transatlantic flight on BA because I refused to sit in the only seats
left in economy- which were in the smoking section!
Didn't Penelope Cruz ask to be removed from a US flight recently while
it was still on the ground at Newark? That disrupted passengers also,
and I note she wasn't arrested. I hope Continental have banned her from
flying with them in the future.

It seems the people who refused to move had people they wanted/needed to sit
near.
I assume for business purposes because if it was a married couple there
wouldn't have been a problem.
Of course if the Qatari royalty had booked seats in 'first' for their
servants as well as themselves they'd have had enough seats to swap around.
Still, can't have the help up there with the quality can you...
Mind you, for an hour and a half flight...

Of course the *best* compensation would be not having to sit adjacent to
some stinking muzlime...

I've had a seat-mate or two I would have preferred not to
sit next to (and for much longer flights). It never
occurred to me to object - I accepted it as just being a
risk one runs, in the real world!

If we're ever on the same plane and you find yourself sitting next to a
Muslim and you'd rather not be, I'll change places with you. I don't mind.
I'm here for you, dude.
