David Beckham complains about being hassled by BA cabin crew
PA
When you're spending a few hours on a long-haul flight, it's nice to kick back and relax.
But David Beckham is reportedly getting a bit fed up with being hassled on his regular transatlantic flights between LA and London - and it's not other passengers who are to blame, but starstruck cabin crew.
The Sun reports that furious Becks threatened to stop flying with British Airways after a young stewardess took a picture of him sleeping in first class - and the flash woke him up.
A source told The Sun: "David will sign autographs and pose for pictures until the cows come home. He is well known for going the extra mile for fans. Nevertheless it was a bit disconcerting watching young BA crew members queuing down the aisle for autographs during flights."
A BA spokesman confirmed that there was an incident, and indicated that they had apologised, telling The Sun: "We have a very good relationship with David Beckham."
David Beckham regularly travels with British Airways - and memorably used the airline to fly from Athens to London with the Olympic flame earlier this year.
He also worked closely with the airline in the, unfortunately unsuccessful, bid for England to host the 2018 World Cup.
