They sprayed my British Airways flight on the way to Britain,
coming from South Africa. They didn’t do that on the
British Airways flight FROM Britain TO South Africa –
a flight that covered the same, exact route. It was antiseptic
spray of some sort. I was silently outraged and shocked.
I heard them announce that they would suggest people look
away from the aisles as they were getting ready to spray
the cabin (with what, disinfectant?!) and didn’t want
to risk irritating anyone’s eyes. I wasn’t sure
that I’d heard correctly. No, I was certain that I
hadn’t heard correctly, but after the announcement,
they immediately began. I saw them spraying up, down, across.
Still shocked. I looked away as the stewardess on my side
came down the aisle.
Psshhhhhhhhhhhhhh……They were really DISINFECTING
the plane???
I was upset and asked them what the spray was for; I mentioned
that on my way in from London, sprays were never used, and
it was the same exact route. I told them effectively ‘disinfecting’
everyone on the plane, as though they’d picked up
potentially lethal micro pathogens from South Africa that
could possibly spoil the limpidness of Britain, could be
seriously construed as offensive by some passengers. They
told me they apologized for any misunderstanding though
they were simply following regulations as passed on by the
World Health Organization. “It isn’t our decision,”
they said, categorically resigned to the situation at hand.
This is the part when I was asked if there was anything
else they could help me out with, like more plane peanuts
or pillows.
