Diarrhoea in the aisle and vomit-covered seats: How do flight crews deal with bodily fluids in air?
21.09.2023 - 16:55 / euronews.com / Air France
While you might expect to come into contact with germs when flying in close quarters on a plane with hundreds of people, it’s fair to assume that being exposed to blood, vomit, and diarrhoea is not something most people are prepared for.
However, there has been a string of recent incidents that would suggest perhaps we shouldn’t be so surprised by bodily fluids when flying.
Last week, a flight from the US headed for Spain was forced to turn back to Atlanta after a messy trail of diarrhoea was left by a passenger.
Others on board the plane took to social media to share how the flight crew did their best to clean up the mess with paper towels, an absorbent runner, and disinfectant.
When communicating with air traffic control, the pilot explained he was turning the plane around due to a “biohazard issue”.
After the flight landed, passengers had to climb over seats to avoid the diarrhoea in the aisles.
It wasn’t the only incident of bodily fluids in the air this summer.
At the end of August, two passengers on an Air Canada flight were reportedly escorted off the plane for refusing to sit in vomit-covered seats.
An onlooking passenger described on Facebook that two women in front of her were struggling to get seated. They were saying to the flight attendant that their seats and seatbelts were wet.
Although passengers knew someone on a previous flight had vomited in the area, they had been assured it had been cleaned.
“They put coffee grinds in the seat pouch and sprayed perfume to mask the smell,” the onlooker said.
“When the clearly upset passengers tried to explain to the flight attendant that the seat and seatbelt were wet and there was still visible vomit residue in their area, the flight attendant was very apologetic but explained that the flight was full and there was nothing they could do.
"The passengers said they couldn’t possibly be expected to sit in vomit for five hours.”
Not long after, the pilot approached the women and said they could leave the plane on their own accord or would be escorted off the plane by security and placed on a no-fly list.
“The pilot got up and walked to the front of the plane,” the onlooker said.
“Next thing we know Security comes down the aisle and escorted the two ladies off the plane!”
In July, a passenger, on board an Air France flight from Paris to Toronto noticed a smell coming from the footwell under his seat.
“It smelled like manure,” Habib Battah told CNN.
When he investigated, he noticed a wet stain on the floor underneath him.
Battah said: “I said it smells like merde – s***. She handed me wet wipes. I started wiping and it was red – blood red. And it kept coming up red. I was like, ‘What the hell is this?’ I just wanted to see what it was. After a while, one of the flight

What Is the Best Suitcase? Use This Easy Guide to Find Your Ideal Bag
A trusted piece of luggage is the cornerstone of any good travel uniform. Sure, comfortable shoes and a sweatshirt to keep warm mid-flight are key pieces of the puzzle, but nothing ruins a journey quite like a broken handle, malfunctioning wheel, or busted zipper. Beyond a solid structure, though, there are myriad considerations to make when finding your ideal bag: How much are you willing to spend? Are you team carry-on or prefer to check? Do you like the sleek look of a hardshell case or want the flexibility of a soft-sided piece? We used this criteria to create what we hope is a handy guide to shopping for the right luggage.

The Current State of Traveler Satisfaction With North American Airports
Traveler satisfaction with North American airports climbed this year despite numerous challenges from an ongoing pilot shortage to record passenger volumes.According to the J.D. Power 2023 North America Airport Satisfaction Study released Wednesday, overall satisfaction improved by 3 points to 780 on a 1,000-point scale. The rise was propelled by improvements in three key areas, including terminal facilities, food and beverage and retail service and baggage claim.The study, currently in its 18th year, examines overall traveler satisfaction with mega (33 million or more passengers a year), large (10 to 32.9 million passengers a year) and medium (4.5 to 9.9 million passengers a year) North American airports across six factors, including terminal facilities; airport arrival/departure; baggage claim; security check; check-in/baggage check; and food, beverage and retail.The big winners among North American airports were Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (800) Tampa International Airport (832) and Indianapolis International Airport (843), which ranked highest among mega, large and medium airports, respectively. 2023 marks the second straight year that Tampa and Indy have won their respective categories.
