British Airways Ad Implies Osama Bin Laden Is A Frequent Flyer

Recently, British Airways advertised and discussed its downloadable, paperless boarding passes in an internal staff magazine called LHR News. There was something odd though: The sample first class boarding pass pictured is issued to Mr Osama Bin Laden.

The airline said that it’s looking into how this “mistake” occurred, so I guess that means Mr Bin Laden is not flying first class on October 26 after all. [ABC via Gadling]
