Air Canada kicks off passengers who refused vomit-stained seats
Air Canada has apologised after kicking Two Passengers off a flight for refusing to sit in vomit-stained seats.
Susan Benson, who was on the Las Vegas-Montreal service, said The Pilot warned The Passengers they would be put on a no-fly list if they kept complaining.
She added that staff had tried to cover " a bit of a foul smell" with perfume and coffee grinds.
Air Canada said The Passengers " clearly did not receive The Standard of care to which they were entitled to".
" We didn't know at first what The Problem was, " Ms Benson posted on Facebook of The Flight late last month.
" Apparently, on the previous flight someone had vomited. The Flight Attendant was very apologetic but explained that The Flight was full. "
She Said staff " placed coffee grinds in the seat pouch and sprayed perfume" but that the seat and seatbelt were " wet and there was still visible vomit residue".
Ms Benson said The Pilot came out of The Cockpit after several minutes of " back-and-forth".
The Passengers were told " they could leave the plane… and organise flights on their own dime, or they would be escorted off by security and placed on a no-fly list! "
They were then escorted off by security.
Ms Benson said The Row made her " ashamed to be a Canadian and ashamed of Air Canada ".
Air Canada said it was " reviewing this serious matter" and that " operating procedures were not followed correctly in this instance".
