Highlights

  • Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham flew into controversy on Monday after she posed for a picture in a crew-only seat on a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong.
  • "Cabin crew prepare for landing! Welcome to Beijing!! X vb," she wrote on Twitter alongside a photograph of her sitting in the crew seats aboard the Beijing-bound flight on Friday.
  • Wearing sunglasses and a peach-coloured dress, she appears to be making an announcement on the public address system while a stewardess sitting next to her pulls a funny face.
  • An airline spokeswoman said the stunt was harmless but "inappropriate". The photo was not taken at any critical stage of the flight, such as take-off or landing, she added.
  • "The passenger only posed for the picture. No public announcement was made," the spokeswoman told AFP.
  • "It was inappropriate as ... the crew seats are only for the cabin crew and passengers should not be allowed to touch any of the aircraft equipment."
  • The Hong Kong Standard newspaper reported that Victoria Beckham, wife of English football star David Beckham, had been criticised on Internet forums for putting the flight's safety at risk.
  • The former Posh Spice was heading to Beijing to launch a new car at a motor show this weekend.
