As if flying wasn’t tough enough, now this.

Cops say a woman aboard a United Airlines flight from Houston to Newark fell asleep in her window seat.

Court documents say when she woke up, the man next to her, 62-year-old Devender Singh, was “kissing her face with his hand inside her shirt.”

KPRC reports the woman shoved Singh away and went to find a flight attendant. She requested to have police meet the plane when it landed in Newark.

This week Singh pleaded guilty to abusive sexual contact, a charge that could land him up to 24 months in prison and a fine of $250,000.

He’ll be sentenced next month.
