Is ALCO encouraging us to let a few loose on our next CO flight so that we can write about it? I'll have to refresh my vocabulary to describe my seatmates' expressions more graphically

I drop some on every trip... nobody complained yet...

I don't know what the big deal is, we get the same flatulence from the senate and house of representatives each day

So true, the cloth F seats and Y seats just absorb the impact. The new leather seats on DL are extremely Taut. You could put an ear (and a nose) out on those flights

Prairie dogging on an airline seat is disgusting

Why would someone edit something over 2 years after posting it? Hmmm...

I don't know - has CO increased or decreased the amount of onions served in its latest catering update?

why does it matter that he had an "effiminant" voice?

Yes, but the NW seats absorb the smell, as well.

Geez, try Depends

The above are quotes from the original post. I just returned from an around-the-world trip in business class. All of the wide-body aircraft I flew on had no personal air vents. I flew on an almost brand new A340-500 & 777-300, and several several 777-200s and 747s, all with no air vents, except for one 737. Not only was there no way to deflect the gas, the cabin often became warm. I am waiting for the Continental 787 with 9-across in coach, and probably no personal air vents in a cabin about 16 inches more narrow than the 777. The 787 will probably be a real "gas chamber," or more quaintly know as the "cabbage chamber."

I guess we will just have to offer our neighbor passengers a Bean-O before the flight.

to the degenerate on Friday night's 423 IAH-MSY who saw fit to imbue the F cabin with his/her fragrant offerings

I had the unfortunate experience right after Christmas flying IAH-SFO with a foul person. I was in 1B, the offender in 1A. He walked onboard with a to-go bag from Pappadeaux's. I should have know something was up.

First, he kept burping, loudly and it stunk. He did have the courtesy to apologize at first. This was before the flight even took off. Later he kept burping and talking to himself, blaming Pappadeaux's.

Two hours into the flight is when the magic really started happening, he began to flatulate! He knew it too because he was leaned over to his window sleeping, but when he did his thing, he would crack an eye to see if I noticed. The second time he did, I just starred right back at him.

I wanted to get up and proclaim that it was not me as I was not the only one who smelled it. Finally when we landed and as if to say goodbye as we were waiting for the cabin door to be opened, he let one out again, but this time the FA noticed and wondered what that smell was! The pilot also came out of the cockpit and they exchanged jokes, and the pilot said welcome to San Francisco! I wanted to say don't blame SF, blame this guy.

Before we left IAH, he was on the phone talking to his "pardner". I thought he was speaking to someone in SF, but it turns out it was his buddy in coach. I overheard him say he'll 'see what he can do', and moments later he asked me if I would like to switch with his friend in coach! ??

Maybe he was getting back at you for saying "No".

UA has already solved this problem

And don't forget! In the event of a water landing, your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device!
