The conditions while traveling with passenger airlines have seemingly been getting worse year after year. While unruly passengers have been partly stifled by harsher enforcement and punishments, there are plenty of legitimate grievances to get angry about. A pair of passengers were escorted off of a recent Air Canada flight for refusing to sit in vomit-stained seats.

USA Today reports that the incident took place on an August 26th Air Canada flight from Seattle to Montreal. Susan Benson, a passenger on the flight, shared her experience in a viral Facebook post.

They also sprayed perfume and put coffee grounds in the seatback pouches to try to hide the smell.

If Benson’s account is accurate, Air Canada should have to answer for how it treated those passengers and threatened them for not immediately tolerating disgusting conditions as paying customers.
