MILANO — Non tanto per la donna in sé: per dire, nel 2003, in Qatar debuttò la prima ministra d'un Paese del Golfo. È, piuttosto, per la (propria) donna con (altri) uomini nei paraggi. E se in certi posti, per esempio un aereo, e nel caso il British Airways delle 15.55 per Londra, la vicinanza è strutturale, e ci sono soltanto file di due poltrone attaccate, e non esiste il posto singolo, amen: si blocca l'aereo.

It's more of BA's fault for not just setting the rules right away and not tolerating any behavior that violates the rules.

Qatar royalty cause three-hour hold up on BA flight by refusing to sit next to male passengers


A BA plane was held up for three hours by three Qatar princesses

A Qatar sheikh held up a British Airways flight at Milan's Linate airport for nearly three hours after discovering three of his female relatives had been seated next to men they did not know.


When none of the other business class passengers agreed to swap seats, the sheikh, a member of Qatar's ruling family, went to the pilot, who had already started the engine, to complain, an airport official said.
A mediation attempt was made but as the sheikh and his travelling companions - the three women, two men, a cook and a servant - refused to sit down, the pilot ordered them off the plane for safety reasons.

But the solution was so simple and easy- just rent the aeroplane only for them.....

Sheikh Jassim is elder but he is not the eldest of all sons, he was crown prince but the official statement was that he no longer wanted to be the ruler of Qatar.

Dude I dont think so, so what if someone did something helpful for another? regardless of the reason, i mean they had every right to refuse but it wasnt wrong of him to ask, yes what he did was wrong on every level but dont you think you are blowing it out of proportion? yes he overreacted but come on sue him!
he could have booked seats that were next to eachother...
