United Airlines’ passengers flying to London got a real bum deal after the crew forgot to stock the plane with toilet paper.
Horrified flyers on last Sunday’s 10-hour flight from San Francisco were told to use what they’d brought on board themselves if they wanted to clean up after a bathroom break.
It sparked outrage among many of the customers who’d paid hundreds of dollars for their seats.
“That’s disgusting, that’s just so terrible,” passenger Gretchen Holland told ABC affiliate KGO.
“If I’m paying for a ticket, that should include the price of toilet paper I would think,” Holland added.
Attendants later gave in, and handed out tiny cocktail napkins — with the words “Fly by the tips of your fingers” printed on them.
The airline has since apologized for the blunder. “We apologize to our customers on this flight for the inconvenience and would like the opportunity to welcome them back,” a statement read.
A spokesman later told ABC that stopping to restock the supply would have delayed the flight.
