Delta passenger claims he had to sit in dog poop during flight

“I sit in my seat and I immediately smell something, and I thought, ‘Not another flight that smells bad,’” Matthew Meehan of Bay City, Michigan, told Yahoo Lifestyle of last Thursday’s flight from hell.

“I realized the person next to me also had their nose covered,” he continued. “And then I went to take my charger out, bent down completely to charge my phone and realized it’s not just a smell, it’s actually feces and it’s all over the back of my legs, it’s all over the floor, all over the wall of the plane.”

He and the fellow flier rushed over to the front of the plane to notify the flight attendants, whose response to the biohazard left him stunned.

“The flight crew said, ‘Are you kidding me? We turned that in. I can’t believe they didn’t clean it.’ They knew it was there,” said Meehan, a top-tier Diamond member of Delta’s Medallion program, which the airline says “provides opportunities to fly more comfortably.”

“The Delta representative that spoke with me after the fact told me their protocol is to have a biohazard kit onboard,” he said.

“The fact that they either didn’t take it down and offer me something from it to clean myself properly or it was absent completely from the plane broke protocol either way. They said they didn’t have one.”

Touche. Right on target; the San Franciscans LIVE in dog crap, they would be lonesome without it.

I agree. But the article can’t decide whether the golden retriever was just a “puppy” or a fully trained “service animal.” I suppose it could be both, but I doubt it.

But Delta should also have cleaned up the mess or placed the seat off limits.

It’s time for legal action against Delta Airlines for placing the health and safety of their passengers at risk when they were made aware of the hazardous situation.

I would never fly Delta again.After that abuse.

Think that’s bad you should see the Delta lounge at Hartsfield airport in Atlanta. I’ve seen better at a McDonald’s.

Next flight I’m going to take an emotional support animal. A honey badger. So it tears the faces off of other passengers. It don’t care. My rights are more important than yours.

My sentiments exactly. This is really getting out of hand. Soon airlines will have no animal flights.

The dog had seen that old Delta commercial, "we're ready when you are."

The only dogs allowed in the passenger compartment on airline flights have to fit in carriers that are small enough to fit under your seat. This means that they are very small dogs who do very small poops. And they give you living hell if you let them out of their crates during a flight... Not to mention that it costs around $100 extra to do it, so very few people do.

I am around 99% sure that it was not dog poo.

That was service dog poop so it’s okay.

One time on a fast flight to Vancouver (had no more business seats on Christmas day) the passenger beside me pulled out her stupid dog in the cage and started SLOBBERING.

F*** i hated every moment of it. What pisses me off are these retarded dog owners and their dog-first mentality.

How far our airlines have descended.

(Admittedly, the poor conduct of passengers appears to be in a race with poor airline service.)

If his meal tasted like foam, I think I know what happened..,.

Yeah, Air travel these days is almost as luxurious as riding in a cattle car.

Not true at all. They have full grown german shepards on flights.

Usually they bump people from the bulk-head and offer them free cocktails.

He probably shit himself and tried to blame some poor dog.

Typical Delta service. Rudest and least helpful airline I’ve ever flown. Delta stewardess spilled my seat mates Bloody Mary all over me and then ran off and hid for the rest of the flight so I couldn’t see her name. Delta is my absolute last choice for air travel.
