She was terrified
A woman was left "terrified" when she received a text message from a member of an airline staff while solo travelling. Hannah Smethurst, 23, was flying from Abu Dhabi to Manchester and was contacted by the unnamed man after he used the airline's database to find her contact details after seeing her passport.
The first message read: "Heyyyy, I have seen you from abudhabi [smiley face emoji]", to which Hannah replied: "How did you get this number?" The man responded, "Sorryyy," to which Hannah asked again, "How did you get my number?", and then he admitted: "I searched u in the system." "They were quite rushed because the plane was boarding. Then I got back to Manchester and spoke to the crew there, who were horrified. I contacted Etihad Airways and they've got back to me to say it was the male who checked me in at the airport. He used the airline system to get my phone number.
"This is so unbelievably creepy," one person said, while another wrote: "This is truly shocking and very very scary." Some Twitter users said they had been contacted before by airline staff if they were late to board, however, this wasn't the case with Hannah, who was already queuing.
