I had this happen to me once. Was taking the red-eye (ha!) from Reno back east after playing bridge for a week at the Nationals. Before heading to the airport, I had what was described as that state's singular contribution to culinary excellence, the "Nevada Chili Loaf."
It's a good-size loaf of sourdough bread with the top cut off horizontally and much of the spongy interior pulled out. It's filled with a luscious melange of spicy beef chili, beans, peppers, cheese, onions, sour cream, and who knows what all.
Quite tasty, but my poor seat partner (and bridge partner) suffered all the way back, as I am sure did all the surrounding passengers. Just as soon as I thought the problem was solved, I'd fill up again. Hour after hour.
Never experienced anything like it before or since.

faltulance rage?
My Girlfriend's friend was on a flight back from Cancun the other day when a man starts violently assaulting her father's seat.
Her father turns around to ask him to stop and then he accuses her father of farting all over him and will not stop till he stops farting.
The attendant had to threaten to call the police before he calmed down.

One of the comedians immediately made a vocal imitation of something that you would hear at a chemical weapons research lab: a mechanical voice announcing "Warning, warning: toxic gases have been released. Evac immediately!" followed by sirens and horns. The entire plane erupted in laughter and the poor chap who cut the wind got up and made a bee-line to the aft lav.
What about that farting lady who struck matches and got an AA flight diverted some months back? I doubt if anybody can top that.
You want a plane full of really bad gas, watch for flights to asia .. local food options heavy in spices, garlic and such. The cabin crew just doesnt crank the aircon all the way too, so the air is already a bit heavy and stale on a fully loaded, longhaul heavy. Even if nobody is perfuming the air.

There was a product called "farty pants" (www.fartypants.com) but
unfortunately the site shows as currently being under construction....it was a hoot.
So next closest thing I could find:

OAK to CVG. My business partner, who had broke wind just 2 times in the past 10 years of our business, quitely lets one go as we are getting off the plane in CVG. As he later said he waited 3 1/2 hours and could not wait any longer plus he figured he would be off the plane before the crime became evident. WRONG. Rarely flying he did not account for the significant lag time between when everyone jumps up and when deboarding starts. At the ding he immediately unbuckles and stretches his 6"5" frame upright the best he can. However the little old lady immediately across the aisle from him remains seated. Since she her head is about waist level to his backside she gets an immediate snootful of the malodorous event. As she gags, coughs, and violently shakes her head the other passengers roll their eyes wondering if she is contagious. All to soon their concerns were allayed as they start experiencing the very same symptons. A man correctly identifies the culprit when he grabs my partner's hand and loudly proclaims. "I want to congratulate you on the best airplane fart I have ever smelled! I travel all over the world and that one just beats them all!"
With the tension now as broke as the wind all affected passanger start laughing which seemed to cure the nausea as no one grabbed a bag from the seatback pockets.
I am now at nearly 600,000 miles and have yet to experience its equal.

This has just been all too funny! But I have vowed never to eat bananas and get on a plane. Can't believe they offer these as babies first food, unless you want to blow them up.

Haha, what a great thread. I'll be honest.....I love to fart. Sometimes, if I'm feeling daring, I'll let a few sneak out just for the heck of it, ha. The best, though, is letting a big one rip as you are walking, knowing it's gonna stink up the place, continuing to walk to a safe location, and then turning around to see the people behind you suffer.
Yes, I am cruel. But I am only 23, so I can still get away with it....right?

Suddenly the name US Airways has an entirely different meaning.
