A British Airways crew were forced to spend a layover night in an Italian sex hotel after a mix-up, it has been claimed.
At least 12 members of staff were booked into the Motel Mo.om in Milan, which offers a variety of themed suites including a BDSM dungeon-style room complete with a caged bed and a standing cross with wrist cuffs.
‘There are no limits in this place, only the heat of pleasure, torments of passion, abandonment to desires,’ reads a listing for a €280 (£240) per night room on the motel’s website.
It’s thought the staff were supposed to stay at the Mo.om Hotel, a regular ‘vanilla’ four-star hotel next door run by the same brand.
The airline said some staff were ‘moved to unapproved hotel rooms following availability issues with our usual accommodation provider’.
It said this happened without the knowledge of company managers.
An insider told The Sun the mix-up was down to a ‘comical mistake by the hotel booking team’, adding that it 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’, the source told the newspaper.
‘They were kept awake by thrillseekers moaning and groaning all day and night.
‘There were adult workers outside propositing staff. Crew even reported suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl.’
It’s understood there were no delays to the flight the affected crew were supposed to work on the following day.
British Airways is ‘urgently investigating to prevent a repeat’, a spokesperson for the airline added.
