On a recent flight from San Francisco to London Heathrow, the steward was meant to be distributing meals to passengers, but according to The Sun, she vanished.

 The in-flight crew manager allegedly found him dancing and naked in the Club World class toilet during a search of the double-decker Airbus A380-800.

After dressing their colleague in an extra pair of first-class pajamas, staff reportedly buckled him into a first-class seat, where he remained for the duration of the 10-and-a-half-hour journey.

 According to the Metropolitan Police, a 41-year-old man was detained on suspicion of being unfit for duty while traveling from San Francisco to London Heathrow Airport.

The force said officers were called by cabin crew over concerns for the welfare of a man just after 9.30am. When the plane landed, he was taken to hospital for treatment, before being arrested and later released under investigation as enquiries continue.

British Airways told The Independent the incident is a matter for the police.

The Met said in a statement: “At 9.32am, police based at Heathrow Airport were called by cabin crew following the concern for welfare of a man on an inbound flight from San Francisco.

“A 41-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment once the flight had landed.

“Officers arrested the man after he received medical attention. He was arrested on suspicion of being unfit for duty. He has since been released under investigation.

“Enquiries remain ongoing into the circumstances, and an investigation has been launched.”
