Maybe not during the flight, but I would have said something to them out loud ( so everyone could hear)after the flight that they stunk. I was on a flight in Italy, a woman carrying a large suitcase took my bag out of the overhead bin and told me to put it under the seat. I protested it, but the flight attendant told me to put it under the seat as my bag was smaller. Not wanting to get kicked off the flight, I kept my silence. However, after the flight I chased her down to baggage claim and yelled at her with a lot of F bombs. She looked terrified. I think she thought I was going to punch her. The moral of the story is when people don’t push back, the inconsiderate will continue their behavior. If they know that there will be consequences such as public humiliation they will take a bath before their flight, or just not be inconsiderate of others.

While calling out the bad behavior might have some level of satisfaction, I'm inclined to not make a scene in a foreign country where the police patrol the airport with 9mm submachineguns in hand. That was the case in Belgium, Germany and Turkey. They play by different rules. I prefer to "blend in" with similar dress and try to speak the language, but I draw the line at choking levels of BO.
