EasyJet passenger left 'disgusted' as couple do something 'unhygienic' on flight
A holidaymaker was left gobsmacked after spotting a couple's grim antics on a budget flight. Erin Butcher was jetting back from a week-long family break in Tenerife when she witnessed a man 'picking dirt from under his partner's toenails' aboard an easyJet plane. Erin clocked a woman's bare feet resting on the tray table mid-flight. The 27 year old fashion merchandiser was then utterly repulsed as the man seemed to be fiddling with her French pedicure toenails and 'flicking bits of dirt' about. She alleges the pair carried on this way for 20 minutes, prompting awkward chuckles from fellow passengers. Erin took to TikTok to share the nauseating incident, captioning her video 'Nothing beats an easyJet flight. Hope no one ate off this tray table on the next flight'. Since being posted on July 31, the clip has exploded online, amassing over 336,200 views, reports the Mirror. Appalled, Erin described the act as 'unhygienic' and a 'depressing' finale to her getaway. Southwark resident Erin expressed: "I felt so disgusted and I couldn't believe it. "The partner was sprawled across the seats with her feet on the tray table, which was shocking enough. "Her partner then started picking at her toenails and flicking little bits [of dirt] everywhere. It was disgusting." She continued: "I was absolutely horrified. I was with my family and none of us could actually believe what was happening. "Even to do that in the privacy of your own home is questionable but to put them on a tray table where people are eating off all day. "I was relieved I wasn't sitting next to them. I had the perfect view from my aisle seat which is horrifying. I couldn't really take my eyes off even though I wanted to. "Her feet were on that table the majority of the four-and-a-half-hour flight. She was really making herself at home. It's so unhygienic. "Other passengers around us had noticed as well. Everyone was laughing and it was quite unbelievable. "As if things aren't depressing enough when your week in the sun has just ended and you're faced with toe picking the whole way home." The Irish Mirror's Crime Writers Michael O'Toole and Paul Healy are writing a new weekly newsletter called Crime Ireland. Click here to sign up and get it delivered to your inbox every week Numerous users flocked to the comments section to voice their revulsion. One person declared: "Totally gross." Whilst another remarked: "That's disgusting anywhere." A third chimed in: "Save it for later." Meanwhile, a fourth individual questioned: "Why on earth?". EasyJet has been contacted for comment. The incident follows another recent controversy where a fellow air traveller condemned a mother for changing her infant's soiled nappy on a tray table instead of utilising the lavatory facilities. She revealed on Reddit: "I'm a really nauseous flyer, so I took a Dramamine ahead of time and did my best to get some sleep during the flight. "This didn't happen because of the baby's crying, but oh well, I know flights are scary and stressful for infants and there was nothing anyone could do about that. "What got to me was the couple changing their baby's extremely stinky number two diaper right in the middle of their seats, using the mum's food tray as a changing table. "We were at the back of the plane right by the bathrooms, which I confirmed had baby changing tables when I had to go back there to throw up after the smell hit me." Much to her delight, the pilot ended up speaking out against this behaviour - but sadly it was too late to stop the smell from making its way around the cabin.

Another European airport is losing all of its Ryanair flights this year
Plus, the other axed route where the airport is at risk of closing NO GO Another European airport is losing all of its Ryanair flights this year THREE destinations in France are being ditched by Ryanair this winter. Ryanair announced it would be axing flights from three airports in France later this year due to the "astronomical" rise in air tax by the French government. Advertisement 4 The commune of Brive will no longer get direct flights from Ryanair Credit: Alamy 4 The commune has a bustling food scene as well as annual fairs Credit: Alamy Ryanair said in a statement that the decision to stop routes to cities such as Brive, is because of the French government's decision to increase air tax by 180 per cent which they called "astronomical". The airline added: "In response to this government tax, Ryanair will cease operations to Bergerac, Brive, and Strasbourg, and reduce capacity at several other French airports." Ryanair currently operates two flights per week between London and Brive which is the biggest commune in Corrèze, and it's capital is Tulle. Direct flights from London Stansted to Brive will stop after October 24, 2025. Advertisement But if you manage to visit before then, you can explore local distilleries and even Lamy Chocolate Factory which create sweet treats. Brive has a large food market held three times a week in Georges Brassens Hall with more than 200 sellers where you can pick up lots of tasty local produce. In the winter months, Brive is known for holding traditional winter fairs called Foires Grasses. It also holds Foires Franches, a summer fair which has children's fairground rides, markets, games throughout the town and firework displays. Advertisement Other destinations that have been axed are Strasbourg, aka the Capital of Christmas. The third destination that Ryanair will no longer fly to is Bergerac. The beautiful French town with Venice style canals 4 Brive is part of the Dordogne Valley which has plenty of shops and restaurants Credit: Alamy Bosses at this French airport even fear that the terminal could close as a result. Advertisement Last week, Christophe Fauvel, president of the Dordogne Chamber of Commerce (CCI) explained that Ryanair stopping flights could lead to the closure of Bergerac Airport. Talking to French media, Christophe said: "It is what happens next that worries us. "If Ryanair decides to follow through on its threat and leaves Bergerac for good the airport may face closure". Bergerac Airport estimates that it will lose 18,000 passengers and a seven per cent loss of its annual passenger numbers. Advertisement Last year, Ryanair pulled its service to Bordeaux Airport – a decision that was finalised in October 2024. In early 2025, the airline also cut its route to Vatry. For anyone going away for the summer, check out this full list of UK airline hand luggage rules for peace of mind. And take a look at this underrated French city that has a 'bit of everything' with picturesque beaches and new cheap hotels. Advertisement

The new airline launching in one of Asia's set-to-be-big holiday destinations – and could start flights to the UK
Plus, read more about South Korea from one Sun Writer who went there last year ON THE UP ON THE UP The new airline launching in one of Asia's set-to-be-big holiday destinations – and could start flights to the UK A NEW airline is launching its first flight in one of the top trending Asian destinations this year. Parata Air is a South Korean low-cost airline that has plans to operate between Gimpo, Jeju, and Yangyang starting later this month - and has revealed plans for flights to Europe too. Advertisement 5 Parata Air has its first plane in Gimpo International Airport Credit: Parata Airlines 5 Seoul is the capital of South Korea - a country that's becoming popular with Brits Credit: Alamy In early August, 2025, Parata Airlines introduced the first plane through Gimpo International Airport in western Seoul. The airline's first aircraft is an A330-200 model which has the potential to fly long-distance routes to the likes of Europe and North America. Currently, Parata Airlines has lease agreements for a total of four aircraft. These are two Airbus A330-200s and two Airbus A320-200s - its aim is to operate short-haul, as well as medium-to-long-haul flights from Seoul. Advertisement Along with its domestic routes, Parata Air aims to launch international routes from Incheon to Japan and Vietnam. Talking to Maeil Business Newspaper, Yoon Chul-min, CEO of Parata Airlines, said, "Based on our top priority, safety first, we will create differentiated values with punctuality and service that we have devoted our heart to. "We need to become an airline that makes us expect excitement and pleasure and become a new challenger in the aviation market." Parata Air was formerly known as Fly Gangwon which ceased operations in May 2023 after financial difficulty. Advertisement Prior to that, Fly Gangwon flew to Tokyo, Clark in the Philippines as well as locations in Taiwan and Vietnam. While they haven't officially confirmed UK flights, Europe could be one of the long haul destinations, especially as Korean culture becomes more popularised. I went to the unusual holiday destination to be big in 2024 with direct flights, scrapped visas and cheap booze South Korea is becoming a bucket list destination for Brits. The capital, Seoul, was crowned the world's best solo travel destination by Tripadvisor in its Travellers' Choice Awards. Advertisement Brits are enjoying the culture more too with the rise of K-pop, kimchee and makeup trends like 'glass skin'. The good news for UK citizens is that you can enter South Korea without a visa for up to 90 days. Previously, Brits had to pay for the K-ETA, a visa waiver, but this has been scrapped until December 31, 2025. Even then the price of the waiver is just 10,000 KRW which equates to £5.43. Advertisement 5 Inside looks bright and airy with beige and blue seats Credit: Parata 5 South Korea has blossom season and is known for certain trends Credit: Alamy It will also be easier for Brits to get to Virgin Atlantic which will launch daily flights to Seoul from March 29, 2026. The overnight London Heathrow-Seoul flights will take off at 9:45am, landing at 6:05am the following day. Advertisement The return flight will take off at 8:35am and land at 3:05pm the same day. The expansion to the Asian country will also allow connecting routes to destination like Japan, Vietnam and China. If you don't want to go as far as South Korea - here's a London suburb that's been compared to it with restaurants and karaoke bars. And more on the world's best airline, Korean Air that has new onboard suites and a unique 'honeymoon mode'. Advertisement One Sun Travel Writer visited South Korea last year and here's what she found... Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey visited South Korea last year where she visited the capital city as well as Gyeongbokgung Palace. The country's capital city lies just 35 miles from the border with North Korea. Start early and visit Gyeongbokgung Palace - we were there by 9am in time for the 10am changing of the guard performance, a 20-minute event that recreates the original ceremony. A bottle of local beer can be found for just a few pounds - and we made sure to add some soju, a local rice wine, to your beer too. And a visit to Korea is nothing without a K-pop dance class, where we danced to New Jeans at Frzm Studio, before partying into the early morning at a karaoke booth, also known as noraebang. The second largest city in South Korea is Busan, found on the south coast. Yet is is easy to get to, with a day trip from Seoul simple thanks to a high speed train taking between 2-3 hours. And Instagrammers can rejoice thanks to the Gamcheon Culture Village, dubbed the Machu Picchu of Korea due to the many multicoloured, photogenic houses lining the cliff side.
