Bristol, September 27: A couple aboard an easyJet flight from Tenerife to Bristol sparked outrage among passengers when they were caught engaging in a sexual act shortly after takeoff. Reportedly, 22-year-old Bradly Smith asked his 20-year-old girlfriend Antonia Sullivan to perform a sexual act in their seats while surrounded by fellow passengers. As Smith made his request, Sullivan attempted to cover his lap with several coats, but their actions did not go unnoticed. After several passengers reported the couple to the cabin crew, the situation escalated, leading to the involvement of the police. As a result of their indecent behaviour, the couple was ultimately arrested upon landing.

As per The Sun report, the incident unfolded just moments after the plane took off. As per the report, witnesses described seeing vigorous hand movements beneath the coats, which prompted multiple passengers to express their shock and disgust. Witnesses, including a mother and her teenage daughter seated behind them, were appalled, with the daughter exclaiming she could see Smith’s genitals. Greece: EasyJet Flight Evacuated Before Takeoff After Bag of Vapes Explodes in Cabin Luggage at Heraklion Airport.
