It was a scare for passengers on Spirit Airlines flight 630 from LAX to Denver, Colorado. About 40 minutes into the flight, the plane was forced to turn around. Some passengers in the front of the cabin said they felt ill. 
On the ground, firefighters opened the baggage compartment door wearing full protective gear with oxygen tanks. They entered the belly of the plane looking for anything unusual. 
 Only one person was transported to the hospital. In a statement, the company said in part: "The aircraft in question has been taken out of service while our maintenance team inspects it. We apologize for the inconvenience."

    I fly Spirit all the time. The only thing that stinks is their fare structure. They charge for everything. I’m surprised they didn’t charge an additional fee for flying to an alternative airport.

    Typical stupid news report does not give us a clue what the odor was. Perhaps smelly cheese?
Decades ago, friend of mine brought some extraordinarily smelly cheese from a NY deli back to Chicago. Stowed it in an overhead. Everyone on board was grossed out but the. plane did not stop nor did the sky fall.

    And the passengers were charged extra for the smell. Because Spirit charges extra for everything.
