plenty of ethnic groups which you associate with smelling bad.

The name Yossi offers a clue. I was in a room once with a person from Asia, and I still cannot believe the odor. I left quickly.

If on a plane, I would have asked for a parachute.

When I saw the flight was to Detroit, I wondered if muslims on the plane are stirring up trouble for Jewish family?

One one trip, I was seated near a person that smelled like a bag of boiled onions dipped in rotting fish and a guy who was eating sour cream and chive chips and licking his fingers and wiping them on the seatback in front of him.
It was only a 70 minute flight and I spent most of it in the toilet.

No one cares if they are Jewish...and how would anyone have known? If someone stinks, they stink. End of story.
But hey, let’s make a scene out of it, and play the victim card any way we can! Maybe we can sue and get rich!
So sick of the institutional Victimization Olympics in America.

I think that this smelly family was flying under assumed names. Because here is their picture (taken just as they were leaving the airport).

I was responding to the name.

Israel is part of Asia.

Judging by the photo and his name, I’d say they’re probably ultra-orthodox or possibly Hasidic. Strangely enough, the menfolk often seem to have an aversion to bathing, wearing deodorant or getting their usually heavy woollen clothing cleaned. I worked in a business that had several of employees from Borough Park; one of the men had a private office, and we all dreaded having to go in there because it smelled so bad.

I think failure to take care of hygiene was intended as a declaration of unworldliness and piety.

Oddly enough, I never noticed that the women smelled bad, although then again, one had little contact with the women, who adhered to a strict dress code (always covering their hair, never exposing their elbows) and who usually didn’t work outside the home or at any rate in any non-Orthodox Jewish business.

Now-a-days, I wouldn't put it past them to have intentionally done something to themselves to cause a foul odor, hoping that something like this would happen.
Now, they can go get a lawyer and try to get some money.

Worked with lots of Jewish guys. Most did not smell. One smelled awful. Another Jewish guy says that he was a ( pick a sect. I forgot). And they stay in a natural state.

That’s it. Can’t remember the sect

“No one cares if they are Jewish...and how would anyone have known?”

In the pic, the man and woman are wearing Jewish head coverings.

Goint to Detroit. There were surely saracens on that plane and Yossi wore a kippah and was thus identifiable at a glance. Mussulmans say that Jews smell bad. Their Jewishness smells bad.

I don't fly anymore. To the extreme that two times in one year I took AMTRAK from Cleveland to Baltimore for cruises. It's a long ride, especially for someone with odd sleeping habits. But problems like this odor situation can be avoided. There's a viewing car that's open all night. If one is sitting next to a problem person, one can stay there instead. Or easily get a seat change if the train has empty seats.

Flying has become unpleasant for so many reasons. The way they cram extra seats on every plane is not healthy, comfortable, or pleasant. It's not going to change as long as flyers will endure these indignities (plus being treated like cattle with mad cow disease at airports) because they want cheap tickets.

No one has mentioned the folks from India who reek of curry? I’ve been around who have that stench coming from their skin.
