Security escorted two Air Canada passengers off a plane after refusing to sit in a seat someone had vomited in, according to a woman who says she was seated in the row behind them.
In an August 29 Facebook post, passenger Susan Benson said she watched two women and a man " struggle to get seated" on the flight from Las Vegas to Montreal, Canada. Benson wrote in her post that she noticed "a bit of a foul smell" but hadn't yet realized where it was coming from.
Soon, though, she said she learned someone had thrown up on the previous flight.
"Air Canada attempted a quick cleanup before boarding but clearly wasn't able to do a thorough clean," her post read. "They placed coffee grinds in the seat pouch and sprayed perfume to mask the smell."
Neither Benson nor Air Canada responded to a request for comment from Insider, made outside of regular working hours.
The passengers in front of Benson told the Air Canada flight attendant that their seat had residue on it, but according to Benson, the employee said the flight was full and they had no other option.
"The flight attendant was very apologetic but explained that the flight was full and there was nothing they could do," Benson's post continues. "The passengers said they couldn't possibly be expected to sit in vomit for five hours."

Bet they forced people to wear masks though.
Read the story, side with the passengers. Weren’t rude. Captain was way over harsh.
Air Canada and puke are an item.
Wasn’t it an Air Canada Steward that gave the world AIDS?
They should have made Trujoke come and lick it up.
I have the luxury of not having set foot anywhere near TSA or on a plane in almost twenty years.
I feel sorry for people who have no choice but to fly.
Why then they need to be beaten, arrested and treated like criminals. Because before 9/11 Middle Eastern men used to walk around in the planes so that means that if you do not do what ever the air crew asks you are a possible terrorist.
There you go, problem solved 🤣.
You are right. My recollection was British Airways. Your memory is better than mine.
I thought that was KLM, I could be wrong
Vomit class. Ultra low fares.
“Will that be Vomiting or Non-Vomiting?”

I feel sorry for those that miss out for fear of flying.
Yep a true Blame Canada moment. He was the perfect spreader of it. Flew all over and screwed everyone and then died probably not knowing what he had.
Air crew, how about we trade seats?
Did someone else acquire Air Canada? My experience with Canucks is that they go out of their way to be agreeable. Maybe the scrawney frenchman who’s head honcho in Canada, is the tipoff of the change in attitude by his acting like a regular rectal orifice. This news item shows something gone seriously awry.
That's not what I said, and you are sleazy for implying that I did.
I avoid Constitution-free zones.
You seem to be in full support of them.
Someday you will reap what you have sown.
My God that looks glorious. I started first traveling as a child in the mid-to-late 70s...does anyone recall when overhead bins where people store carryon luggage started becoming a thing?
