LONDON-<\/strong> A passenger travelling with British Airways (BA)<\/a> says she discovered that her assigned seat was soaked in urine before an 8-hour flight from Miami International Airport (MIA) to London Heathrow Airport (LHR). Her trousers became wet after she sat down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passenger complained publicly on November 1, 2026, and shared a video the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passenger Says Crew Offered Paper Towels and Cleaning Spray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the passenger’s account, she noticed an unpleasant smell before reaching her assigned seat. She initially thought someone nearby was cooking fish but soon realised that the smell was coming from her seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After sitting down, she discovered that the seat was soaked in urine and that her trousers had become wet. She immediately raised the issue with the cabin crew and requested assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passenger said the flight attendant told her that no empty seats were available. She also claimed that the crew could not provide an additional blanket to cover the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, the flight attendant reportedly offered paper towels and a small bottle of antibacterial cleaning spray. The bottle shown in the passenger’s photograph was labelled 15ml Antibacterial Cleaning Spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no alternative seat or additional blanket available, she said she layered paper towels, her own bag and her blanket over the contaminated seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passenger also described feeling embarrassed about the situation. She initially thought the smell might be coming from nearby food, but after discovering the source, she became concerned that other passengers might assume she had wet herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boarded my flight from MIA to LHR and my seat for my 8 hour flight is urine-soaked. you could smell it before you even got to my seat and the staff said there is nothing they can do, not even any extra blankets, only a tiny hand sanitiser pic.twitter.com\/87NczAMOFj<\/a><\/p>— sof\u2077\ud83d\udc3a \u2299\u229d\u229c LONDON SOUNDCHECK (@witchiminie) November 1, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
