A passenger on the flight, Mr Matthew G. Johnson, posted a photo on Facebook Monday morning showing oxygen masks being deployed from the overhead compartments.
Mr Johnson wrote:
"Those accustomed to air flight might notice a few additional pieces of equipment more often seen on those boring safety videos. Their appearance today was anything but, sufficient to say we landed safely in Baku in Azerbaijan."
He added that a "loud air noise was heard from the door five rows in front" shortly after take-off from London's Heathrow airport.
Mr Johnson described the situation at that point as "so loud it was impossible to hear, and cold due to the airflow".
According to Mr Johnson, a cabin crew told him that the door had a "mild" leaking seal, but assured him that the airplane had been cleared as "serviceable".
The plane started its emergency descent a few hours later, after "the leaking door over-powered the compressors' ability to pressurise the cabin," wrote Mr Johnson.
