Bed bugs bite BA

Got a problem with an airline? Don’t bother writing a letter. Do what others have done—go public on the internet.

First, there was the guy who wrote a song and put up a video on Youtube on why United Breaks Guitars.

Then actor/director Kevin Smith went ballistic on twitter when he was bounced off a Southwest flight for being too big.

And now a Los Angeles woman has started a website, www.ba-bites.com  claiming she was bitten by bedbugs on not one but two separate BA flights.

 If Andy Warhol is looking down I have only one thing to say to him: It’s a lot easier now to get your 15 minutes of fame.

Once point of interest…”Snakes on a Plane” was a movie. It didn’t really happen.

British Airways is admitting that it found bedbugs on one of its planes and has taken it as well as another out of service for fumigation. 

Apparently, both of the planes were the ones flown by the woman who put up the website about bedbugs on her BA flights.

You never know where you might pick up those blood sucking bed bugs. Once you get them you might as well buy new bedroom furniture. They are probably living inside the airplane seats just waiting to feast on some new flesh.
