- Passengers on flights from Newark Liberty International Airport to India are complaining about bed bug infested seats.

In one case this week a family complained their infant was covered in bites and bleeding by the time the 17-hour flight landed in Mumbia.

Pravin Tonsekar tweeted Air India photos of his seat with apparent bed bugs on them.

Air India replied with a comment that it is: "sorry to hear this. Sharing the details with our maintenance team for corrective measures in this regard."

Another passenger tweeted to the airline that his family few out of Newark on July 18 and his wife and three children were covered in bed ug bites all over their body. He asked, "Is this what we paid $10,000 for???"

LOL! The “Boneless Chicken Ranch” was good, too.

With all the turd-world passengers flying on airlines, it’s surprising this problem isn’t more common.

Actually, bed bugs are an American problem, not a Third World problem. The Third World isn't controlled by environmentalists who have gotten DDT and other effective pesticides banned - they will spray down their planes, hotels, etc. and kill the bugs. Bed bugs have become a real problem in American 5 star hotels and now apparently in planes because we have banned DDT.

This bedbug thing is pretty serious.

I never gave much thought until my daughter stayed at a hostel in Poland that had them. They left after they woke with bites the first night. They came home and had to keep all their stuff in a freezer (taking turns because it was a small euro freezer). It took something like a month to rotate all their stuff through.

Strip in the garage when you get home and take a shower immediately. Leave your bags and everything you carried in the garage too. Empty the clothes directly into the washer.

If you can’t wash it, throw it in the dryer for 20 minutes.

We do this every time we return home from a trip after one bout with bedbugs. Cost a small fortune to get rid of them.

Well what did he expect flying on Air India. It’s such a bad airline, the Indian government can’t even find buyers. Seriously, the Indian government was going to privatize Air India this summer, but no companies were interested in putting in bids to buy it.

“Some Girls” was the last great Stones album, and by far the best since “Exile”.

:) I wish I could find the video, but I guess it’s not one of his most famous.

Since it is New Jersey I won’t accept any assumptions, and I will wait to hear what an investigation detirmines.

India manufactures and uses DDT.

Expect that they will dust the plane and put it back in service.

Love it. Guess they didn’t buy Carson’s B.S. and propaganda. Something else President Trump could rectify,

It's a foreign third world state owned airline. There's no telling how many third world countries that aircraft has flown to prior to its most recent trip to the US.

Airplanes fly around 500-600 MPH. Why cant they get a little ventilation going?

The infestations most likely came from previous passengers or their luggage.
