A business class passenger has been banned from all United Airlines flights after allegedly urinating on another customer during a long-haul flight. Jerome Gutierrez, a fellow passenger, said he was asleep on the San Francisco to Manila flight and woke up soaked from the stomach down in another man’s urine.

The incident occurred four hours into the 15-hour red-eye journey, leaving Mr Gutierrez to endure the remainder of the flight in damp, smelly clothing. The man who urinated on him was reportedly a total stranger and, instead of using the restroom, stood up and relieved himself directly onto Mr Gutierrez.

“Jerome realised he was soaked from his stomach down in that man’s urine.”. She said that United Airlines had warned her stepfather to not approach the urinating man for fear of a confrontation that could turn violent. She added: “I am so disgusted and in shock with how United Airlines handled this! That is a biohazard, and the plane should’ve turned around to address this issue.

“They put the needs of the airline before my stepdad’s health.”. United Airlines spokesperson Anoushah Rasta confirmed to SFGATE there had been a “disturbance” on the flight and that the instigator had been banned. “We have banned this passenger,” Ms Rasta wrote in an email.
