“Cabin crew tried to move the passengers to different seats, but those traveling with other people refused to change.”
Hurray for them!
Is this some kind of unusual commuter flight without assigned seats or boarding passes? I thought the time to arrange your seating preferences was BEFORE you board.
Or, if you are royal family, go buy your own plane.
What a bunch of spoiled brats.
Must be poor royals if they had to fly commerical and couldn’t even book the first class section. At least they didn’t have to fly easyJet or Ryan Air.
It’s good to see they were finally instructed in how to play well with others or face a timeout.
Good for those passengers who refused to move!!!!! Never give an inch to these sickos.
Their “shopping trip” expenditures probably would have fed a lot of ‘non-ruling family’ kids at home.
We in the west clearly have to do more to accomodate the cultural sensitivities of diverse people. Our failure at this can only further anger those who have been victimized by our arrogance.

why did it take four hours to figure that these clowns don’t play nice with others? If I refused to take my seat I don’t think that I would get four hours to throw a fit about it.
Being a cynic — could all this “difficulty” with Muslims on airlines simply be another method of damaging confidence in Air Travel....
Standing procedures should MANDATE the immediate refusal of service at the FIRST sign of belligerent or confrontational behavior.....
These assholes have already inconvenienced the world enough....treating their lunatic customs with any respect is not appropriate on public transportation....
Let them stay home, or charter the whole damned plane...
Otherwise - screw em...
So now they know that on British Airways an obvious Arab Muslim can just get up and walk right up to the Cockpit.
Maybe all of this was done to establish this fact for future reference for Islamic terrorists.
As stupid as this is...the islamic property involved is actually saving her own life. She should have scheduled for this and made arrangements in advance knowing that the death-cult kills it’s own for alot less.

Tell the royals to charter their own private flight instead of mixing with “infidels”. To each his own.
