Worst flight ever: Woman sits 9 hours beside BF who choked to death

STOMPer Flyer extends his condolences to Ms Vanessa Preechakul, whose boyfriend apparently choked to death on an inflight meal shortly after take-off on a Jetstar flight to Auckland.

The 27-year-old architect had to sit next to her boyfriend's lifeless body for nine hours.

According to a Straits Times report, Mr Robert Rippingale, 31, who worked in aviation logistics in Singapore, was heading home to New Zealand with his girlfriend, Ms Preechakul, on Aug 29 when the incident happened.

A doctor who was on the plane failed to resuscitate him.

STOMPer Flyer said:

"My condolences to Ms Preechakul and Mr Rippingale's family.

"It's bad enough that you have lost a loved one, but imagine having to sit beside the body for nine hours!

"Was there no more appropriate place on the plane to lay his body?"

That's so sad. And Jetstar is good. Always provide good service and the ppl also very polite and helpful.

I think stomper flyer suggested that the dead body placed inside the compartment.

RIP

Seriously Stomper, you don't know anything please just shut up. During the flight when the man choked on his beef meal, there were doctor and nurses amongst the passengers that tried to resuscitate him but failed. The cabin crew then moved his body to the crew rest area and covered his body with a blanket. The girlfriend CHOSE to sit beside her boyfriend and accompany him till the landing of the flight. Please don't be so childish. Just because JetStar then they dun care? They handled the situation right. And if your family member died on the plane, i know you'll just throw the body down in the cargo hold and enjoy the rest of your flight sleeping RIGHT? Please lah, no brain.

@dabadbadang

Having a doctor on board does not mean no one will die. Having trained crew, does not mean there will no deaths in flight.
