US Mother Alleges British Airways Attendant Exposed Her While Breastfeeding on Flight

She rejects gift-card offers, pressing for crew sensitivity training.

Overview

  • Shayanne Wright says a male crew member lifted her nursing cover during a June long‑haul flight, exposing her while she fed her seven‑month‑old.
  • Wright filed a sexual harassment complaint, and British Airways says it has looked into the allegations and contacted her directly to resolve the matter.
  • She says the airline offered gift cards of $250 and then $1,000 without a direct apology, which she considers inadequate.
  • Wright also describes repeated unwanted contact, including thigh taps during meal service and unsolicited attempts to fasten her seatbelt.
  • Her Reddit post about the incident went viral, drawing wider attention as laws in the US and UK protect breastfeeding, and no resolution has been announced.
