Chinese women forced to stay in kinky ‘50 Shades of Grey’ style hotel room on Valentine’s Day after flight cancelled

Two Chinese women were forced to stay in a kinky ‘50 Shades of Grey’ style hotel room on Valentine’s Day after their flight was cancelled.

The pair were sent to a themed suite - which featured a dominatrix-style ‘sex chair’ with handcuffs and a circular bed - after their Hainan Airlines flight from Chongqing to Hangzhou was grounded due to bad weather on Sunday evening.

One of the women shared photographs of the room on social networking site Weibo but did not reveal the name of the hotel.

She described the room as a “small Valentine surprise” for “two single unmarried girls” - but has since deleted her post after it prompted a flurry of amused responses from Weibo users.

Apologising for the gaffe, a spokesman for Hainan Airlines told news portal thepaper.cn that many hotel rooms were already occupied when it began arranging alternative accommodation for passengers.
