Unfortunately now all you have blowing in your face is a musty locker room mixed with puke.

Also carry a travel sized Odor eliminating spray bottle to help with the smell.

Or you can invest in some cans of these if they can be TSA approved:

I hate flying for these reasons. I flew to Phoenix recently, the guy in front of me soaked himself in Polo Blue cologne. Three of hours of that left me with a headache and that smell stuck in my nose all day.


The guy next to me on this flight was an attorney. Older gentleman. Overall nice guy. We had pleasant conversation on from Chicago to here. I could tell though after a while he wasn’t doing too well. When we got off the plane I noticed he had sweat so much his shirt looked like he’d had a bucket of water poured over his head.

Dude, just shut the frick up. Again, if you don’t like the thread, then skip it. It’s quite easy to do. There’s tons of threads on here I check out, see they don’t interest me, and I simply go back and find one that does. You should try it.


Oh this thread quite interests me.

It explains why JCB equipment sucks lol.

Even the best airlines go sour after the person who started it no longer is around.

Piedmont was a great airline. Bigger than puddle jumpers but small enough to get good service.

Delta was great at least through the 80's but in the 90's they started cutting corners and early exits for competent staff to save on benefits. Also, most all their pilots were military trained and lots of experience. Since 2000 they are not what they were.

Yeah, I was noticing the smell even before we left Chicago. By the time we reached Peoria it was pretty strong. And then we still had 40 minutes of sitting there in this putrid sweat box.

The older you get the harder heat is on your heart, hope he is OK.

Yeah, they started in Monroe so we’ve always flown them. I like American a lot though. I’ve flown Delta internationally and they were great. Will fly American internationally this summer.

That’s why I was confused when that dude brought up JCB equipment.

We flew to Boston on Friday. Every flight was full, every airport was full. We took the train to NY today. Every seat was sold. Plenty of money in the economy

That sounds very inconvenient but “air travel nightmare” should be reserved for actual terrifying events.

Damn I thought you worked for JCB for some reason - I’ll take my licks on that. You work for Thompson? Damn that explains even more.

Not your fault but while we’re on the topic. Worst service department in the SE.

They shouldn't be allowed to take off if A/C isn’t working properly. That’s a terrible situation
