British Airways has apologized to a Canadian family who reported being feasted upon by a pack of bedbugs during an overnight flight from Vancouver to London earlier this month, CTV Vancouver reported.

Szilagyi posted pictures of bites on her daughter's calves on Twitter.

Passenger Heather Szilagyi was flying with her fianci(C) and eight-year-old daughter when she says she spotted several of the bugs on the seat in front of her.
