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."

1 round trip in 10 years was about 1 too many. Motorhome while a more costly option than most first class is always preferable unless ocean crossing is required. In that case I would prefer a tramp steamer.
That’s what the American airline industry is coming to.
“The passengers said they couldn’t possibly be expected to sit in vomit for five hours.”
They should be used to that after being in Las Vegas. What you puke there stays there,
The glamour of air travel.
It’s called business class.
“ Did someone else acquire Air Canada?”
Have you been to Toronto lately? It’s replaced SanFranSicko as the gay capital of North America. Sick, sick, sick.
Air Canocrap strikes agsin.
Jim never vomits at home
LOL!
You’re a weirdo.
I realize I’m waaaay out of touch. Last I was in Toronto was early 80s.
Same here, I was a Fed Gov employee on business travel the last time around and TSA just had to be A-holes about it.
THere’s a reason 7 or 8 out of the top ten best rated airlines are Asian .
“You’re a weirdo.”
Comments like yours are why civilization is a quaint anachronism.
Thanks for proving it.
