Gas Warfare

April 4, 2009 Odor Stories

For several years I was a very frequent flyer. The first year or two of my travel days, when I would get on the plane, I would have to walk by those snobby, rich, too good for me, first class people to reach my seat in the back of the plane. Being a person of [...]

Unbathed And Infested

April 4, 2009 Odor Stories

A couple of years ago, my husband and I got caught in traffic on the way to Dulles airport and missed our flight to Amsterdam. A wonderful UA employee fixed us up on a later flight through London and even kept us in our originally booked business class. Getting to London was fine. It was [...]

Stinky Hippy

April 4, 2009 Odor Stories

I was on a red eye from San Fran to Hartford. The plane was packed but I happened to have the only row that wasn’t full (or so I thought). As the gentleman 2 seats next to me and I looked at each other, happy that we wouldn’t be 3 across for a red eye, [...]

Automatic Gas Emissions

August 4, 2008 Odor Stories

On my 10 1/2-hour international flight, I got stuck behind a man who dealt silent-but-deadly farts at regular intervals. It was about every fifteen or twenty minutes. I could almost set my watch on it. What’s more, he would look around before, during and after each one. My entire row was a little bit green [...]

On a flight in 2005 from Dulles International to San Francisco, I was traveling with a large group of classmates on the way home from the school’s DC trip.

Puking Up Toenails

December 4, 2007 Odor Stories

My friend and I were on an early morning flight from Jacksonville to Atlanta. We arrived in good time and checked our bags, went through security and made a pit stop at the bathroom before going to the gate. In one of the stalls was a woman puking up her toenails. I felt sorry for [...]

Emergency Leads To Stinky Situation

November 4, 2007 Odor Stories

A few years ago I was flying from JFK to Las Vegas, non stop, on an evening flight. Flying time is about 5 1/2 hours. About an hour out, a woman in the rear of the plane starts screaming, really screaming. Her husband (big guy, probably under 40) is having an attack of some kind. [...]

Bad B.O.

November 4, 2007 Odor Stories

On a flight from Oakland to Kona, I was stuck sitting next to a man with horrible body odor. He apparently did not wear deodorant, and I dreaded every time he would raise his arm for something. Add to that the fact that I get motion sickness very easily, and I really thought I was [...]
