A British gay couple who run a spiritual wellness company in London posted a video from the airport about their “magical experience” in India before boarding the ill-fated Air India flight that crashed, claiming the lives of all but one on board.
Jamie Ray Greenlaw-Meek and Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek are among 53 British nationals who were booked to fly on the aircraft, which crashed on Thursday with 242 passengers onboard, moments after take off.
In a video shared on their company The Wellness Foundry’s Instagram account, Fiongal, a former fashion designer, said: “We are at the airport, just boarding, goodbye India”. His husband then joked about the lengthy 10-hour flight.
In another clip shared on social media, they described their trip as a “magical experience” and promised to share a vlog with their followers of their “mind-blowing things”.
“We really have been on quite a journey and then just spending the last night here in this most amazing hotel, we’ve just had the most delicious Thali food. It was the perfect way to round up the trip,” Jamie said.
The couple, from London, were due to return home on the Air India flight after a 10-day wellness retreat, Jamie Meek’s brother said.
Nick Meek, a caretaker from Birmingham, said: “We were expecting him home tonight. He should have landed at 6.30pm and then driven up for about 11 to get his dog who is staying with our Mum.
“She is not in a good way. It is all very raw for her at the moment. It’s a lot to take in and we only heard this news a couple of hours ago.”
