Woman ruins flight for other passengers with 'smelly' behaviour
A plane passenger has accused a woman of ruining their flight with her bad-smelling feet. They filmed the woman sticking her feet through the gap between the seat and the plane wall and resting them on the armrest of the person in front. In the footage, the woman wearing skin-coloured tights, appears to be sleeping with her feet raised. The alleged incident took place on June 29 on an Air China flight from Qingdao to Beijing. The person that filmed the footage said they noticed a strong odour lingering nearby when the flight took after. After looking around, they discovered the woman's feet perched on the armrest next to their seat. The upset passenger said: 'I was sleeping and was woken up by the smell. 'I couldn't call a flight attendant immediately because it was during departure, but I pressed the call button mid-flight. 'I told them what was happening, and they gave her a pair of slippers. 'However, for the remaining 30 minutes of the flight, she kept pushing my chair with her knees. It was a very uncomfortable flight.' The affected passenger added that the woman made the flight unpleasant for them and other fliers. Meanwhile, a flight attendant has also shared a smelly passenger issue that she thinks should be illegal. Posting on TikTok, cabin crew member Cher (@cherdallas), says she thinks tourists should 'go to prison' for breaking one key etiquette rule on their flight. According to Cher, passengers who don't shower before they get on the plane are the worst kind of traveller. She moans: 'There is zero reason that I should be smelling a stranger's body odour radiating off of their warm body at 5 o'clock in the morning. 'It's always men. Sometimes it's ladies that are having a lady problem that nobody has told them about but usually it's men. Wash yourself.

Flight attendant reveals disgusting habit passengers do she thinks should 'be illegal'
A flight attendant has warned passengers not to board their flight 'at all' if they do one disgusting thing. Posting on TikTok, cabin crew member Cher (@cherdallas), says she thinks tourists should 'go to prison' for breaking one key etiquette rule on their flight. According to Cher, passengers who don't shower before they get on the plane are the worst kind of traveller. She moans: 'There is zero reason that I should be smelling a stranger's body odour radiating off of their warm body at 5 o'clock in the morning. 'It's always men. Sometimes it's ladies that are having a lady problem that nobody has told them about but usually it's men. Wash yourself. 'You are going to be shoulder to shoulder with strangers. Show up clean or don't come at all.' In the comments, TikTok user 'boreal999' agrees, saying: 'A shower plus clean clothes together will stop the stench. 'If it's transatlantic with a layover, change into a different clean shirt and use a wet paper towel on your torso in the bathroom stall.' However, one person disagrees, arguing: 'Ever had to run 20 minutes to a connecting flight with luggage in tow? You'll sweat, my dear, and there may be an odour.' But body odour isn't the only thing that Cher thinks should be '100 per cent against the law' on planes. She reveals that passengers who play videos or music out loud without earphones are one of her pet peeves. Cher says that forgetting headphones is no one else's problem but the passenger's and they don't need to impact other travellers on the planes. And tourists might find Cher's other pet peeve surprising - as it's aimed at her fellow flight attendants. 'Flight attendants making a bunch of unnecessary announcements,' says Cher. She says she prefers when flight attendants go and 'talk to people individually' on the plane rather than 'blasting their voice' over the PA at 6am. 'Not all announcements are unnecessary,' claims Cher. 'There are basic ones that we are required to make. She moans: 'There is zero reason that I should be smelling a stranger's body odour radiating off of their warm body at 5 o'clock in the morning' 'I simply don't agree with putting on a whole production unless you are on like a super fun afternoon flight. 'I swear like eight times out of 10, the flight attendants that do those crazy announcements are not getting a pulse check from the people onboard.' One person agrees with Cher, writing in the comments: '[I] had one who was not on duty sitting across the aisle having the loudest conversation that I couldn't even block with my noise cancelling headphones. Most of us are trying to sleep!' However, another commenter adds: 'As a solo traveller, I love talking to the crew. I always find it so interesting.'
