When She Looked At Her Daughter's Leg, She Saw Every Traveler's Worst Nightmare
Taking a long flight isn’t really anyone’s idea of fun.
Unless you’re willing to pay big bucks for first class or extra space, not having enough legroom and dealing with an unpleasant person sitting next to you is practically guaranteed. However, those little annoyances pale in comparison to what this woman and her little girl went through.
When Heather Szilagyi took a British Airways flight from Vancouver to London with her fiance, Eric Neilson, and her seven-year-old daughter, Molly, she says she saw bed bugs crawling out of an in-flight TV frame and her food tray. But despite informing the cabin crew twice, the family was told they couldn’t be moved.
When they landed, Szilagyi and her daughter walked off the plane with multiple bites…
@British_Airways Hi. I have received extremely bad customer support for a recent issue with bedbugs on an overnight flight. Pics: pic.twitter.com/O80hXqyrsU

…which only got worse the next day. Szilagyi says it completely ruined their trip.
This is what her calfs looked like yesterday. Your customer service department is open four hours a day and “is experiencing high volume”… pic.twitter.com/vOM887Edjw

“Once we got to the Airbnb that we were staying in, we went to sleep,” Szilagyi said. “My daughter had a few bites on her thighs but when she woke up she was covered, she had them all over. It was just so bad and awful, my daughter was bleeding.”
Each bed bug bites 3 times then goes back into hiding. This is just my daughter’s calves. That’s more than a few bugs. #britishairways pic.twitter.com/2WtAGA8PFd
