A drunk New Zealand passenger urinated in the aisle of a Jetstar aircraft spraying one man and soaking a woman's scarf but was allowed to leave the flight with nothing more than a warning.
The man, travelling from Auckland to Singapore two days ago, emptied his bladder about six hours into the 11-hour flight.
Passenger Amos Chapple heard the incident unfold.
"I just hear this sound of running water and then I hear a guy going 'No, no, no. What the hell is wrong with you?' "And there's this guy [urinating] in the aisle, waving back and forth."
The man urinated directly on to the aircraft carpet, a man's leg, and a woman's scarf, amid shouts of horror.
"Everyone was yelling at him and he became slowly aware that he was being uncouth. He pulled up ... and wobbled back to the other end of the plane."
The culprit and a friend were seen pouring Famous Grouse into Burger King cups before take-off.
"Six hours later, they were just catatonic," Mr Chapple said.
Jetstar crew offered some wipes to the man who was sprayed and organised another seat, but Mr Chapple was left sitting next to a large reminder for the rest of the flight.
"We were sitting next to a pool of urine for a good five and a-half hours." The female passenger whose scarf was sprayed, had to repeatedly ask for a plastic bag for the soaked item, Mr Chapple said.
He was critical of the way the Jetstar crew handled the incident, saying they were "slack".
He said he confronted the man when they landed in Singapore and asked him, "What was that all about?" but the man did not know what he was talking about.
"I told him that he had [urinated] everywhere and he looked quite shocked," Mr Chapple said.
JetStar said the culprit was given an official warning from the plane's captain, had his alcohol confiscated, and returned to his seat to sleep off the incident.
Jetstar last night confirmed "there was an inebriated passenger who engaged in inappropriate and disruptive behaviour", but maintained federal police did not need to get involved.
The crew followed standard procedures, and an internal report had been filed, airline spokeswoman Jennifer Timm said.
Jetstar was contacting customers affected by the incident with a view to compensating them and the airline was also reviewing the male passenger's suitability for future travel
