Flying While Smelly

By Laura on February 19, 2010 Leave a Comment

There are reasonable restrictions (the width of the seat) applied to passengers who are flying while fat.  And even though that is sometimes unevenly enforced, it is at least a measurable standard: can the armrests go down, or not?  But flying while smelly is a good deal more subjective – and harder to prove later on if the passenger complains or sues.   That must have been a tough call on the part of the flight attendants.  I always try to remember to keep some Vicks Vaporub in my purse in the event of a stinky seatmate, because long flights are unbearable when you’re stuck breathing in someone’s unbathed fumes – or worse, farts.
