The BA crew said the taxi fare was a 'rip off'.
The crew members insisted on being dropped off at the side of the road despite it being the middle of the night because they thought the fare was a ‘rip off’.

The crew were supposed to be staying in the city for one night before working on the BA flight back to London the following day.

The crew had been dropped off in the Penha area of the city, which is miles away from where they were staying in a hotel in Copacabana.But flight BA-248 from Rio to Heathrow was reportedly postponed because of the middle-of-the-night robbery.
