East Coaster going to Mtl for Interview??

Raising a stink -- literally -- grounded a man's intention to fly from Charlottetown to Montreal earlier this month.

A man with foul body odour boarded an Air Jazz plane on Feb. 6, and was left to sit by himself. Penny Walsh, of Charlottetown, was moved to another seat by an Air Canada employee so she would not have to ride alongside the man who was giving off an unpleasant smell.

"People were just mumbling and staring at him," said Ms. Walsh. "The guy next to me said, 'It's brutal'. "

Ms. Walsh, who had a cold and ended up sitting three rows in front of the man, did not get a strong whiff of the offending traveller, but said other passengers were dreading the potentially noxious flight ahead.

Apparently in an effort to clear the air, the man, who Ms. Walsh described as unkempt, was escorted off the plane. Ms. Walsh said the incident delayed the flight by only 15 to 20 minutes.

Slow news day or what?

On a slightly related topic, my boyfriend (who lives in Detroit) was looking at flights to Ottawa to come see me and no lie, there is one with a layover in Charlottetown. Seems a little out of the way to me!

Oh man. I can sort of relate... I took a greyhound from NYC to Toronto after a visit with Mike, this woman sat beside me and I swear she ####### her pants. There weren't any other seats either. I had to sit there beside this woman until a seat became available in Rochester. Omg I was dying!

That was the greyhound bus from HELL. I went to use the bathroom at one point, and when I stepped down to flush the toilet... the water sprayed OUT of the hole.. freaking toilet water!!! I had a good cry in that bathroom... I think I was nearing a nervous breakdown, I didn't know where I was but I thought about telling the driver to just let me out. I have never stepped on a greyhound since.

On one of my visits I had a similar experience. I flew from Boston to Chicago with my face pressed up against the window the whole flight. The guy sitting next to me had the combination smell of a rotting potato and burger onions.

Atleast I had the coldness of the window to block some of the stench. The guy next to him had to sit through it

Wow, that would suck!! There is little to no air movement on planes at all, its so stuffy and closed in. If the person next to you stunk that bad that would be a nightmare! As it is you can smell someone eating Doritos 5 aisles ahead of you.
