Do not all airlines have contingency plans for such an incident.

Been on a lot of long flights, and if the flight attendants put a dead person next to me, I would be crreped out.

“He said: “I can’t believe they told us to stay...It wasn’t nice.”

nobody wants to sit next to a dead body, but if a full grown man is brought to tears because if it, it’s time he turns in his man card.

I’ve been on flights where I would have much preferred to sit next to a dead person.

I would have been glad to sit next to a dead person after some of the flights that I have been on.

I’d be worried about them reanimating like in The Walking Dead.

I guess they couldn't just tie her up on top of the plane, like Aunt Edna.

As long as the corpse doesn’t smell or leak, who cares? At least there will be no passive-aggressive war over the arm-rest. When I get stuck in economy on overseas flights I usually wish I was dead.

Its not like it was a long dead corpse, fresh killed is probably not too bad as long as the bowels don’t release too much fluid.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind it that much, probably would be the quietist flight and I get to brag forever about the best passenger to fly next to, the dead body.

At least they were not sitting next to someone clipping their toenails!

The couple can whine all they want but there’s no other place to put the dead passenger except back in their seat.

Definitely worth drinks on the house for the rest of the flight. But then I would spend the rest of the flight watching to see if she blinks.

That was inconsiderate of the airline.
At very least, most people would object to such a seating arrangement, for four continuous hours, because
after someone has died, the rest of their body quickly begins to follow that pattern of cell death.

The entire cadaver becomes a fully clothed, spongy petri dish, brimming with emerging molds and bacteria. A situation that is less than beneficial to any living person, still breathing in and out from their assigned seat.

I say this with authority since my daughter is a flight attendant and that is really the only place to put the body. When I was teasing her about this very story she went off on how stupid the article was. She got mad at me for laughing about the story and her reaction.

What’s not to like? No armrest jostling, no inane attempts at conversation, no climbing over you, and you could probably even snag the corpse’s little bag of peanuts.

Another article I read said that there were more empty seats available. Why did the not move the living people to those??

I’d use my dead friend to get extra refreshements.

“Some pop for my friend here.”
