Stinko flight
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.

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?? |

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 |

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. Reseating is likely not an option these days. Most of the flights are full. And I do hope that whoever gets ejected is provided with a parachute. JohnT |

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. |
