BA crew mistakenly booked into sex dungeon as they spot grim detail in room
Crew members aboard a British Airways flight endured a seriously awkward night, after a booking blunder saw them being checked into a sex dungeon.
While in the stylish Italian city of Milan, it had been decided that the colleagues would spend the night at the Motel Mo.om, a popular modern hotel with good transport links.
Unfortunately, in what has been described as a "comical mistake", the team reportedly found themselves bedding down for the night at the similarly named Mo. om Hotel. Although at a glance, the names of these hotels appear almost indistinguishable, this is where any comparisons end.
It soon became clear to the crew that this was no ordinary establishment, as they took in the bondage-themed beds and vagina-shaped spa tub. And if these features didn't drive the point home, the incessant "moaning and groaning" from fellow patrons certainly did.
A source told The Sun: "Crew were booked into a pay-by-the-hour sex hotel last Thursday. They were confronted with bondage sets, mirrored ceilings, human dog cages and leather harnesses. It was obvious that this wasn't the place the crew was supposed to stay."
Although there are humorous elements to the mishap, this sleeping situation was decidedly less than ideal for airline staff, for whom adequate rest is imperative.
As the source explained: "It was a comical mistake by the hotel booking team, but had serious implications. Some of the team who stayed in the sex dungeon didn't get any sleep, so they couldn't operate on BA services the following day. They were kept awake by thrill seekers moaning and groaning all day and night."
As well as struggling through "constant noise" as a "24 hour orgy" raged on, employees allegedly also had to deal with witnessing "suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl".
A British Airways spokesperson told the Mirror: "A small number of crew were moved to unapproved hotel rooms following availability issues with our usual accommodation provider. This happened without our knowledge, and we're urgently investigating to prevent it from taking place again."
It's understood that 12 crew members spent one evening in the unapproved accommodation, due to availability issues with the airline's usual provider.
There was also thankfully no delay to the flight that the staff members had been scheduled to operate, meaning they were able to get back to normal after their unexpected stay.

The Nicolas Kuhn Celtic transfer question I got answer to the minute I set eyes on George Clooney's favourite escape
Our man Michael Gannon is with the Hoops in a specular spot in Northern Italy and they ramp up their pre-season preparations 'So Nicolas Kuhn, what was it that attracted you to a move to Como?' After just a few hours in these parts, there's no need for the now ex- Celtic star to answer. Yeah, the German probably has some football and financial reasons, the chance to make a few quid and play in Serie A sounds good enough. But one look at this town and it's easy to see why he jumped at the chance. Listen, Glasgow's great and all that, it's home sweet home to plenty of us, but not Kuhn. And when he clapped eyes on this Italian oasis, no one could blame him for giving it a bash. Como is absolutely sensational. George Clooney has a gaff up the road from here and the big man has the right idea. It's like a movie set and a postcard at the same time. Celtic have been to some nice pre-season spots over the years, but it's hard to top this one for scenery. There's also a real football flavour in the town. This Como Cup might be a friendly tournament but the area has gone to town on it. There are posters everywhere, a fan zone down by Lake Como which must have the most spectacular five-a-side pitch in the world. Not far from there is the Studio Guiseppe Sinigaglia – which is a goal kick away from the water. It's a bit like Gayfield in Arbroath – without the 50mph freezing wind – and rather than a fun fare next door, it's a millionaires' playground. There can't be many more stunning stadiums in the entire world. There can't be many better preseason trips for fans either. A fair few are starting to filter into the area ahead of Thursday night's clash with Ajax. There are always tell tale signs. The local funicular – the wee tram that takes folk up the hill to see some of the best views on the planet – was shuffling on its way up and right at the front there was an away shirt with 'McGregor' on the back. It was a young fan rather than the actual Hoops captain but it wasn't long before plenty of other supporters were spotted wandering around town with their jaws open at the sights. They'd love to see a few new signings as well, mind you… perhaps Clooney can do a job on the wing. In the meantime they might feel right at home. This place was run by the original Celts until the Romans marched in, like they do. Julius Caesar eventually named it and the rest is history. This has always been on of Europe's top tourist traps but the local team has struggled through the years, mainly due to being just up the road from the Milan giants. But it's certainly in business these days, with a rise to the top from Serie D thanks to new investment and now with a glamour boss in Cesc Fabregas. No wonder Kuhn found all this appealing. Unlike old Benito Mussolini. The Italian dictator met his end in these parts, arrested around Lake Como in Dongo, he was eventually executed the next day down the road in Tremezzina. It's a touchy subject these days, so Celtic fans might need to tread carefully with the transfer chat – given the Hoops are looking for a right winger…

Heathrow willing to scale back third runway after outcry over cost
Heathrow has confirmed it is willing to build a shorter, cheaper third runway following an outcry from airlines over cost. Europe's busiest airport will indicate its readiness to negotiate with carriers over runway options when it submits a formal pitch to ministers next week, said Thomas Woldbye, the airport's chief executive. While Heathrow is still expected to make the case for a full-length runway that would encroach on the M25 and cost more than £60bn, according to some estimates, Mr Woldbye said the proposals will feature 'as many options as is possible at this time'. The flexibility marks a change of tack after he said earlier this year that ripping up a two-mile stretch of Britain's busiest motorway could not be avoided. The turnaround follows a campaign led by British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, which have accused the airport of favouring a 'gold-plated' expansion plan that could see departure fees swell to as much as £100 a passenger for long-haul flights. Mr Woldbye said: 'Length of runway is something we will be discussing with airlines. It does not necessarily have to be final in the plan next week.

Beach evacuated in popular holiday hotspot after mystery fish 'attacks tourist'
The tourist was attacked by an unknown sea creature on a beach in a popular holiday destination, leading to the shoreline being evacuated as a search was carried out A Spanish beach at a popular holiday hotspot was cleared this week after a tourist was attacked by an unidentified marine creature. A red flag was lifted on Tuesday morning (July 22) at Playa de Palma, the main beach in Majorca's capital, after a woman sustained a "severe bite" to her leg. The holidaymaker, reportedly an 85-year-old Italian national, emerged from the water with "part of her calf torn off", according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin. Lifeguards took the decision to clear the coastline to conduct a hunt for the animal, though the beach reopened roughly an hour later when no creature was discovered. Consequently, the species behind the attack remains unknown, but marine specialists have offered their theories on the most probable culprit, reports Chronicle Live. Fisheries Director General Toni Grau suggested to the Majorca Daily Bulletin that a triggerfish might have been responsible - a species inhabiting warm waters globally and notorious for aggressive territorial instincts. Meanwhile, Aniol Esteban, a marine biodiversity specialist from the Marilles Foundation, proposed that a bluefish could have launched the assault. Another species thriving in warmer regions worldwide, bluefish rarely target humans but have been documented attacking when feeling under threat or occasionally confusing swimmers for prey. Police and emergency services rushed to Playa de Palma after a woman suffered a severe bite on her leg, which was treated by two ambulances on the beach before she was whisked away to hospital. The attack left her with part of her skin torn off and a "significant gash" in a shocking incident near a bustling beach bar. Marine experts have highlighted that shark attacks are "extremely rare" in Mediterranean waters, suggesting the recent event is unlikely to be shark-related. This summer has seen several reports of swimmers being bitten by fish on Majorca's beaches. Holidaymakers recount painful nips on their legs and feet by small, feisty fish in shallow waters, with some speculating that climate change is pushing marine life closer to the coast due to warmer sea temperatures, an issue affecting various parts of the beloved Spanish island. While most encounters result in minor injuries, there have been instances of more severe bites necessitating medical care. Earlier this month, a German tourist recounted a harrowing experience where he had to hastily exit the water after sustaining a bite that caused significant bleeding, as reported by EuroWeekly. Should you suspect you've been nipped while enjoying a dip during your holidays, experts recommend exiting the water immediately and cleansing the wound with saltwater and gentle soap where possible. Should the injury be bleeding, press firmly with a clean fabric until professional medical help can be secured. There are also venomous marine animals to be wary of, with the NHS recommending that those wading in British waters should seek medical guidance "as soon as possible" if stung by creatures such as jellyfish. The health service suggests always visiting a minor injuries unit if the sting has resulted in intense pain that persists, or if you've been stung by a marine creature whilst holidaying in tropical locations.
