Sorry the way that was phased, I ran out of letters!
The airline who allegedly does this, hasn't anywhere to place a person, who died on flight.
Would it matter to you if you travelled first class.
Also, the poor person who did die, has a right to some dignity in death.
If it doesn't matter to the person who died, but it matters to the poor relatives.
Surely they could find a place set away, no matter about lack of room, it should be taken into account; that this happens.. I had never given it a thought, until I read it in a reliable editorial.

Yes it is reasonable, but maybe just a litte corner set away by the back of the plane would be a good idea.
Thank you to the first two answers which were sensible and in good taste...

The situation was handled well. However, the first class fliers should have been notified and offered the chance to downgrade to economy - if space wasn't an issue.

I seen that on The Wright Stuff last week "Shocking" . They also said that an alternate airline actually carries onboard a coffin for such cases ! I never knew that . I actually never considered that a person would die onboard a plane . I guess you can never plan for those things . I felt sorry for the family :(

The person in question was not ill or unwell when they got on the plane but died suddenly on-board whilst the aircraft was in flight,What are the crew supposed to do with a dead body they did the only thing that they could cover the body and store it in a quite and private place.Well done crew..

It was British Airways and they said it happens about 8 to 10 times per year but where else are they supposed to put them shove them in a toilet or down in the cargo hold or shove them out the door your loved one is in a corn field in Kansas don't worry we attached a GPS locator, it's not like it happens often enough for them to take it into consideration

It's rather rare for someone to die in flight. I don't expect the airlines to have a special closet set aside for corpses, and I think that what they did under the circumstances was reasonable.

I understand why it was done. However, I don't want to pay for a first class ticket only to end up sitting next to a dead person.

first off where would you suggest...the only place accessible is the cockpit that has any "privacy"...I'm sure they did their best to keep the body away from sight and covered ...at the least his family can take comfort that he received First Class treatment ...

well the idea is bright
more space in first class
too stuffed and not hygenic in lower classes
altough i still think he should be closed in a box of some kind
not hygenic

I've never understood why this issue was in the papers. Why first class... because there was more space.
