Travel Forum / Travel Types / Air Travel / May 2006Stinko flight
The global carriers need to enact a rule that people who arrive at a flight with unacceptable personal hygiene will not be allowed to board unless and until they clean up their act. I understand that people who are on long connecting flights cannot be as pristine as daisies, but -DAMN- some of these people bring tears to your eyes, and I dont believe it is anything but cultural nastiness. I suspect that you all, who have made long international flights, have been 'offended' by this sort of passenger before. Cant something be done?? >I suspect that you all, who have made long international flights, have been 'offended' by this sort of passenger before. Yes I have, but was lucky enough not to have to set by them. Just wondered if they knew what soap and water were. >Cant something be done??

Bring it to the attention of the FA & request to be reseated. Something should be done. I believe the smelly one will be ejected if it is brought to the attention of the crew. If nothing is said, nothing will be done. > > The global carriers need to enact a rule that people who arrive at a flight > > with unacceptable personal hygiene will not be allowed to board unless and [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > it is brought to the attention of the crew.

Most of the flights are > full. Full flight or not. If a person smells bad enough that I can't stand it, I'll make enough noise that something will be done. If they choose to eject me, thats all right too. >The global carriers need to enact a rule that people who arrive at a flight >with unacceptable personal hygiene will not be allowed to board unless and [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Cant something be done?? Oi, veh. Yeah, just what we need. More rules. I can see Shrub tomorrow: "We will no longer tolerate BO." Get a life, already. > >The global carriers need to enact a rule that people who arrive at a flight > >with unacceptable personal hygiene will not be allowed to board unless and [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Oi, veh.

Aparently, you have never been on a crowded flight with a serious stink weed. It's not pleasant to sit for hours wondering when you'll lose it, and toss your lunch. >>>The global carriers need to enact a rule that people who arrive at a flight >>>with unacceptable personal hygiene will not be allowed to board unless and [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > weed.

If it bothers you that much, take another flight If it is bothering others and they complain, the offending person will be removed. If it only bothers you, then maybe you're the problem "mrtravel" <mrtravel@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:qox9g.86570 > If it bothers you that much, take another flight > If it is bothering others and they complain, the offending person will > be removed. If it only bothers you, then maybe you're the problem In this case, it was bothering a LOT of us. We were exposed to this group of stinkers after going through the security checkin in AMS. People moved away from the 'group', tears came to eyes, etc, but the flight was boarding and nobody wanted to make a scene. I was lucky. I didn't have to sit near them. But in the past, I HAVE been forced to sit amongst this sort of carrion. These flights are usually FULL and there is no chance to change your seating arrangements. When people make statements like 'get a life', it shows just how stupid they are. > "mrtravel" <mrtravel@sbcglobal.net> wrote in message news:qox9g.86570 > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > and > nobody wanted to make a scene. See, then you have only yourselves to blame. What scene are you referring to. You simply go up to gate agent or FA and tell them, and have the other people do the same.

A gentle breeze blowing down the front of your face is a pleasant releif. The thing that bothers me is peanut breath. > Sadly enough, no one will get up to go to the lav if they can squeeze > one off in the seat. That's where the air nozzles come in handy.

I started using surgical masks a few years ago when SARS was an issue. Found it really stopped 'travelers colds', so I still wear them. I guess they would not filter out the stench, but the N95's are supposed to offer some protection from avian flu. I remember last year when I flew back from San Francisco to Keflavik Iceland on an Icelandair flight. Some American young man came to sit next to me with an odour that was more dead than alive. And the flight was going to last for about 7,5 hours so I thought that I was in for "a real treat" here. But then I opened up more the air switch on panel above your seat, underneaththe overhead lockers, and to my amazement the smell soon disappeared and I had no more bother with it. The problem was soon solved well before take-off. So that could be an option too. >The global carriers need to enact a rule that people who arrive at a flight >with unacceptable personal hygiene will not be allowed to board unless and [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Cant something be done?? > And the flight was going to last for about 7,5 hours so I thought that I was in for "a real treat" here.

The flight hung around the runway for over an hour, waiting for clearance to take off, and it was a warm day. Surprisingly, as soon as they started the engines and turned on the aircon, the smell pretty much disappeared. Rupa Bose www.rupabose.org |
