Forced to sit next to a dead body during a flight

[NZflygirl]

Perhaps the crew should have offered. But I dare say that after doing their best to try and save the passenger, but failing, the crew probably would have been in shock or traumatised themselves? They may have forgotten to make an offer, assumed another crew member had done so, or assumed the passengers would have taken the initiative?

My thoughts are focused more on the family of the deceased and the crew, rather than a passenger who could - and one of them did - move. If the wife moved at the suggestion of another passenger, the husband thought what? He has to stay? Because another passenger didn’t also ask him to move?

Doesn’t add up.

Pax were asked to stay in their seats at the end of the flight. A that means wherever you were sitting when the plane landed. Not sure why this occurred, no need to have kept pax on board.

Agree, if there were spare seats they could have moved with or without the permission of crew or suggested it. This event was reported in the NZ herald and I think another person reported they were a passenger on the same flight and that it was 2hrs prior to landing and they were offered different seats. Who knows... but usually if something doesn't add up, there's info missing. Odd to go to a media outlet and agree to talk to them unless they're after something in return. Free flights, upgrades?
