It certainly does. Ache in flight Sleeping on a faulty airline seat has netted an irate first-class passenger nearly $150,000 in compo, thanks to adelaide a Victorian Supreme Court decision yesterday. adelaide Henry Krum's seat on a Malaysian Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Paris was occupied, and he was moved to another, which had a faulty recline function. "The middle bit, the lumbar bit, was rock hard like lying on a marble benchtop," he told the court. "I lay in the seat and I realised it was hard and uncomfortable." He took a sleeping pill, dozed for eight adelaide hours and awoke having aggravated an existing back injury. Malaysian Airlines was billed $144,998 in damages, plus interest and legal costs, and its appeal failed yesterday.
