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."

NEVER fly Air CanaDUH again.
“That’s not what I said, and you are sleazy for implying that I did.”
I didn’t say anything about you or your post. I quoted you via copy/paste so you are sleazy for saying I implies anything.
Stop stalking me.
The pilot was out of line.
It's not fear of flying. It's fear of being dehumanized.
“Stop stalking me.”
Stop attacking me with lies.
When I went to Boston last May, masks were not required (but were when I went to and from Washington Reagan in June of last year).
Yes, it was. That's what they are saying. Disgusting.
That must have been in the drinking and assault section of the aircraft.

They were ok ages ago. I was with their frequent flyer program. Then one day shortly after 9/11 they reorganized as airlines were folding left right and centre and my accumulated air miles went poof. I made your vow at that time. Never again.
IIRC, they replace the seat covers but at outstations, that isn’t always feasible.
Those people should have been accommodated immediately after the situation was explained and possibly asked for volunteers to take the next flight before removing that couple. That is a biohazard and that crew knew it.
THEY wouldn’t sit in vomit.
Me either since my father’s funeral in 2001. No Mas. That’s after 25 years of a job with a whole bunch of air travel. I go back to the days when they gave complimentary smokes as you boarded and you could stow your long guns in the ovehead.
A “system” that took Joe Foss’s Congressional Medal of Honor away from him before he could board (dumb bastards thought it was a Chinese throwing star or something) is not for moi.
“I feel sorry for those that miss out for fear of flying.”
It’s not fear of flying, it’s that if I have to get into a fight or have a medical emergency I’d rather do it on the ground rather than at 35,000 feet cramped into a human sardine can. Thank you very much.
Who wouldn’t want to sit in puke 🤢,🤮 coffee grounds ☕ and perfume?
Sounds wonderful!!
Air Canada is the worst airline in the world.

I don’t enjoy the cramped flights but I put up with it to enjoy seeing the world.
At my age and background I’ve seen all I want to see. But to each their own mate.
