Passengers, including young children, on a Qantas flight from Sydney to Tokyo got much more than they bargained for when a gripping adults-only movie was shown on all screens.
Due to technical issues with inflight entertainment on Qantas flight QF59 to Haneda Airport in Japan’s capital, individual film selections were not available.
The only solution was to show the same movie, starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, from a limited selection on each screen, with no ability to opt out of what was chosen.
But the movie of choice for most passengers was the R-rated Daddio, which features explicit sexual material, graphic nudity, exposed genitals and sexually charged text messages.
In Australia, R-rated films “are legally restricted to adults over 18 years of age and may contain content that may be offensive to sections of the adult community.”
And Daddio certainly offended some passengers on the flight to Tokyo and one of them took to Reddit.
“Qantas played an inappropriate movie all over the plane, there was no way to turn it off,” the woman fumed on Reddit.
‘It was impossible to pause it, dim it or turn it off. Here’s the kicker: the movie they showed was extremely inappropriate.

‘It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting, the kind where you could literally read the texts on the screen without the need for headphones.
“It was almost an hour before they changed to a more kid-friendly movie, but it was very uncomfortable for everyone, especially with the families and children on board.”
“Qantas is now reviewing how the film was selected.”
“The film was clearly not suitable to play throughout the flight and we sincerely apologize to customers for this experience,” a Qantas spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia.
“All screens were switched to a family movie for the remainder of the flight, which is our standard practice in the rare cases where it is not possible to select a movie individually.”

But the passenger who wrote online about the issue wasn’t happy, even after the Qantas crew apologized and posted some photos they took of the sexting that appeared on seatback screens.
‘How is this acceptable for a major airline? Has something like this happened to anyone else? “added the woman.
