Air Canada flight set up themselves in an uncomfortable situation when they were asked to enthrall seats that had not been duly gutted and still bore traces of heave. The incident unfolded on a flight bound for Vienna via Montreal, sparking wide attention and debate.
The incident came to light after a fellow passenger, Susan Benson, participated her experience in a viral Facebook post.
On August 26, an uncomfortable incident passed during a flight from Las Vegas to Montreal.
Benson detailed the original contact with the problem in a Facebook post" There was a bit of a foul smell, but we did not know what the problem was at first." Someone had supposedly heaved in that region on the former trip. Air Canada tried a quick clean- up before boarding but easily was not suitable to do a thorough job."
According to Benson, the seatbelt and seat were still visibly wet, and remnants of heave were apparent around the seats.
In an attempt to alleviate the situation, the airline used coffee grounds and incense to mask the odor, but it proved ineffective.
" They placed coffee grounds in the seat poke and scattered incense to mask the smell. When the veritably outraged passengers tried to convey to the flight attendant that the seat and seatbelt were wet and there was still visible heave residue in their area, the flight attendant apologized profusely but said that the flight was full and there was nothing they could do."
A heated disagreement between passengers and flight workers erupted, lasting several twinkles.
