A man has escaped penalty despite annoying his fellow passengers by bathing in an aircraft washroom.
The Chinese man was making full use of the aircraft's facilities, including hot running water, for more than 30 minutes, according to a report in the Chongqing Morning Post.
After fellow passengers, anxious to use the toilet, complained to flight attendants, the door was opened to find the half naked man covered in water.
The man, who it was reported had only had cold showers at his lodgings for more than a week, was so brazen he then asked for shampoo to complete his wash.
While obviously put out, the unnamed airline was unable to take action against the passenger as Chinese aviation regulations do not have a clause banning passengers from bathing in a plane's washroom. - Travelpress travel news
