Seems reasonable.

[mnehring]

I can’t tell you how many times I wished an airline would do this.

[WKUHilltopper]

Well. That stinks.

[Rennes Templar]

Are carry-on deodorants banned?

[HiTech RedNeck]

I remember meeting a former professor of mine on a flight back to the university town. He had gone on a visit to Europe. He had brought back Limburger cheese and by the odor it was obvious.

[Clemenza]

If only Air India would adopt this policy (ducks).

[mlizzy]

I’d like to dismiss the old ladies that pour on the chemically-laden cologne (because their sense of smell has diminished and they don’t know when to stop) and come and plop next to me at mass. I’ve had to sit in the vestibule a couple of times to escape the scent. I asked the priest if they could make a scent-free pew. I think he thought I was joking.:)

[Badabing Badablonde]

Obnoxious odors are tolerable over short periods of time, in places where people can move around. But on a plane, locked up, no open windows?.....people can start to get sick from the smell.

I say buh-bye, smelly guy.

[brytlea]

I always think, “how did we survive back before people regularly bathed?” I never think living in the middle ages would have been that fun. I would have fainted from the smell.

[COBOL2Java]

The passenger?

[RedMDer]

This the guy that complained

[fatnotlazy]

Some years ago, A&E had a series called “Airline.” Basically it was a day in the life chronicle of events at various Southwest Airlines gates. Several of the stories involved passengers who smelled badly. Those passengers were either barred from boarding or taken off the flights. In some cases, the airline would clean up the guy, get him fresh clothes, then let him on the next available flight.

This is not a comment on whether the airline did the right thing but obviously it's not something that one would want to do or take lightly. I used to work with a guy years ago who could telegraph his presence from the moment that anybody else walked in the front door (and that was an office that employed say 100 people to give some idea of scale). Anyway, there were so many complaints that his boss took him aside... the upshot of it was that he had some type of medical problem - he was healthy but he had terrible BO. The problem for the company was that he was also the best draughtsman that they had by a long shot.....

The crew eventually decided to ask the man to leave the plane

Did they at least give him a parachute?

[JCG]

Another probe by a son of Muhammad?

(What will they do if I smell like the camel I rode in on?)

I didn’t know that one of White House cabinet members was up in Canada.

[ari-freedom]

man I can’t stand BO

[plinyelder]

Not many folks here ever been to France huh?
(just sayin)

[N. Theknow]

I once was on a flight with a man who had no nose.

How did he smell?

Terrible!

[ozzymandus]

If you’ve ever been stuck next to somebody with serious BO, the stench can make you physically ill. Not just too much cologne, or even honest sweat, but a genuine bum who hasn’t washed or changed clothes for years can make you barf.
