A Manhattan man is suing JetBlue, claiming he was forced to sit in an airplane bathroom for hours during a cross-country flight.
Gokhan Mutlu was flying standby from San Diego to New York in February.
He says he had a seat initially, but was woken up 90 minutes into the flight. He says the pilot told him that he would have to give his seat up to a flight attendant, who had complained that her jump seat was uncomfortable.
The only available accommodation on the packed flight was to sit on the toilet seat.
The man's lawsuit, filed Friday in Manhattan Supreme Court, seeks $2 million.
JetBlue officials told NY1 they have not received a lawsuit and will not comment on pending litigation.
