A British couple who died in the Air India crash appeared in one last Instagram video together shortly before boarding the fateful flight.

Jamie Meek and partner Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek were among those on flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which went down shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad, India, on Thursday, June 12, Meek’s brother Nick told British newspaper The Times.

The brother said he and others were “expecting” Jamie, 44, and Fiongal, 39, to return home around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. He said the couple, who run The Wellness Foundry, were visiting India for a 10-day wellness retreat.

Jamie’s mother was watching his dog while her son was on the trip, according to Nick. “She is not in a good way,” he explained. “It is all very raw for her at the moment. It’s a lot to take in and we only heard this news a couple of hours ago.”

Prior to the crash, the couple appeared in one last video on Instagram. In the video, shared by multiple outlets on X,  the couple seemed to be preparing to complete their trip.

“We are at the airport just boarding,” Fiongal said in the clip. He then said “Goodbye India” ahead of what Jamie suggested would be a “10-hour flight back to England.”

“My biggest takeaway is to not lose your patience with your partner,” Fiongal said with a chuckle in the clip, to which Jamie replied, “You already snapped at me while having chai at the airport! I see you’ve learned nothing.”

At the end of the clip, Fiongal said with a smile, “Going back happily, happily, happily calm.”
