When Air Travel Truly Stinks: Foul-Smelling Passengers Are A Ticklish Problem For Airlines - Forbes
Sometimes flying stinks.
No, seriously. Sometimes it stinks, as in being a malodorous, downright putrid experience.
If you've ever thought “there ought to be a law" against people who turn the air in the cabin of a modern airliner rancid, you're in luck.
Okay, it’s not exactly a law, per se, but most if not all airlines have rules in their contracts of carriage and/or government-approved operating procedures that allow them to remove particularly smelly passengers if the stench is so bad that other travelers are sickened by it.
Certainly, it’s not fun for the crew members who have to do that dirty deed. And it’s a bit risky, both physically and legally.
