HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A woman is suing United Airlines, claiming she was kicked off a flight out of Houston because someone complained that she had a "pungent odor."

The mother and her children were on a flight to San Francisco in 2016.

The suit says a man in business class told the flight crew that she smelled, and he was not comfortable flying next to her.

According to the lawsuit, the woman, who is Nigerian, believes she was booted because of her race.

She and her children were put on another flight five hours later. United has not commented on this lawsuit.

If a single one came close to smelling as bad as that filthy animal I might have left the plane early...

“their mismatched clothes?”

This. Long have I wondered about some Asian women I have seen, who are presumably coming from a culture of simplicity and gracefulness, dressed in plaid pants and checkered shirts and all manner of YIKES!

However, to remove someone from a flight seems quite excessive.

Yep...Even worse, lots of them on the way to Mecca are sick with TB, etc...

If the vomit-inducing stench doesn't get you, some disease probably will.
