A lady on a latest Air Canada flight claims the airline made three passengers sit on vomit-covered seats, resulting in safety putting two of them on a no-fly listing.
Susan Benson took to social media on August 29 with a prolonged Facebook submit. She claims the incident occurred on an August 26 flight from Las Vegas to Montreal.
“Seated in front of us were two ladies and a gentleman who were struggling to get seated. There was a bit of a foul smell, but we didn’t know at first what the problem was,” Benson wrote on Facebook.
“Apparently, on the previous flight, someone had vomited in that area. Air Canada attempted a quick clean up before boarding but clearly wasn’t able to do a thorough clean.”
Benson alleges Air Canada workers tried to rapidly masks the stench by putting espresso grinds within the seat pouch and spraying fragrance, to no avail.
“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,” Benson wrote.
“The passengers said they couldn’t possibly be expected to sit in vomit for five hours.”
Passengers escorted off aircraft, positioned on no-fly listing, girl claims
Benson mentioned that finally, the three passengers got blankets to placed on prime of the seat in addition to wipes and vomit baggage.
The girl alleges that Air Canada’s pilot approached the three passengers and defined that they might depart the aircraft on their very own accord and purchase tickets for a brand new flight or be escorted off the aircraft by safety and positioned on a no-fly listing.
“When they asked why, he said they were rude to the flight attendant. They were certainly not!” Benson continued in her submit.
“They were upset and firm but not rude! The passengers beside them explain to the pilot that they have literal vomit in their seats and, as a police officer, they would never treat people like that.”
Benson claims safety entered the aircraft and finally escorted two ladies off.
“For what? Refusing to sit in vomit for five hours! Air Canada literally expects passage to sit in vomit or be escorted off the plane and placed on a no-fly list,” Benson mentioned.
“I have no idea if they were actually placed on the no-fly list or not. I cannot stop thinking about these two ladies. They did nothing wrong.”
Benson ended her social media submit by saying she’s ashamed of the Canadian airline.
“I would like for as many people as possible to share this. I have already complained to Air Canada directly and placed it on other social media platforms. I hope they find a good lawyer and sue the pants off Air Canada.”
