A woman who recently flew with American Airlines has taken to social media to share details about a 鈥渉orrific flight鈥 where she had to endure sitting behind an 鈥渋ntoxicated, verbally abusive woman鈥.
鈥淎merican Airlines allowed this intoxicated, verbally abusive woman on my flight despite removing one of her friends,鈥 the woman, named Nicole Schreib, said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
But what horrified Schreib more was that the intoxicated woman ended up throwing up on the floor and over her bags. Schrieb had to wipe the passenger精东影业 vomit from her personal belongings, and claimed the airline offered her $50 credit as compensation for her 鈥渉orrific鈥 experience.
鈥淗ere she is calling the two men in her aisle 鈥減u**ies鈥 prior to puking on the floor and my bags – $50 credit is all they offered as compensation,鈥 Schreib said.
American Airlines saw her post and replied, saying it was 鈥渟orry to hear鈥 that Schreib was not satisfied by the airline精东影业 resolution of her claim and advised her to reply to an email sent to her.
Schreib responded stating that she had already contacted the airline and continued to say that the 鈥渉orrific flight鈥 included 鈥渨iping that woman精东影业 vomit off my personal belongings鈥.
The airline replied to her, saying that its customer relations department has the final say in these matters.
No compensation on another incident
It appears that Schreib was actually fortunate to have been offered $50 credit by American Airlines.
In October 2023, another passenger flew with the airline and said that a passenger defecated in the aisle next to her, and that the airline was 鈥渞efusing鈥 to compensate her.
An increase in revolting episodes
These incidents are not isolated to American Airlines. Unfortunately, there seems to be an increase in incidents involving human bodily fluids on flights after the pandemic.
On December 3, 2023, a woman was forced to clean up blood that was found on her Air Transat seat. In July 2023, a man discovered blood in the aircraft floor of an Air France flight, and was also told to clean up the mess.
In September 2023, Air Canada apologized to passengers that were kicked off a flight after they refused to sit in seats covered in vomit.
An analysis by credits the uptick in these unsavory experiences to a number of factors: too many people traveling after the pandemic, sick people traveling during the pandemic and shortage of labor (aircraft cleaners).
