About a month ago we flew from Gatwick to Barbados there was another flight from there about an hour later, we met a couple two nights later who were on it & got chatting with them, it appears their flight was a bit more eventful than ours . An announcement was made that someone had been smoking in the toilet & if it happened again the flight would be diverted & the culprit dealt with, a few hours later there was a medical emergency in the front area of the plane & of course staff were needed to deal with it, the smoker then seized this opportunity to go for another cigarette he was observed by another passenger who already suspected him & of course reported it to a member of the crew who was available. Once the plane landed in Barbados he was met by local police led of the plane in handcuffs & that was his holiday over before it started, I find it hard to comprehend what goes on in some peoples heads. Hopefully he will receive a hefty fine & a ban from using the airline involved again.
Well,.you were either on TUI or BA and the other flight would have been whichever you weren't on.
Medical emergencies and technical ones are about all we would divert for.
Smoking will get you prosecuted, and if you kick off, potentially restrained with further prosecutions. Once restrained, you're only released into custody or the plane crashes and it's safe to do so... But, it's unlikely that we would divert for it.
Barbs, especially from Gatwick, has a reputation for being quite chavtastic.
Apologies for spelling mistakes! in last text...anyhoo same crap airline from Madrid to Cairo business, no magazines no nothing! ffs!
All I had to do was twiddle my thumbs and drink their wines and gins! Told the company I never want to fly with them again!! And the did not! Result! DG might have heard of the airline I am sure! 
Indeed.
It could reasonably be suggested that the only reason that Iberia makes any money is because BA is part of IAG which owns Iberia.
