    One commenter on X, who said their partner was on the Delta flight, reported that it “smelled horrible” and that vanilla-scented disinfectant used to mask the odor “only made it smell like vanilla s—.”

    Hahahahhaha.

      INCREDIBLE stench if someone on a neighboring DELTA flight could smell the dog shit on this UNITED flight

        They were relating in the article about another similar event on a Delta flight that had to divert for a human passenger’s diarrhea.

          Maybe it’s just because I clean up dog poop everyday but human diarrhea is so much worse

        Yeah even with code shares I don’t think Delta and United are ever the same carrier. Maybe?

        Seems unlikely though. Sky West and smaller carriers don’t usually share flights between multiple big carriers afaik.

            Yes they are. Never said otherwise.

            Code shares are weird and if you don’t know about them you should look them up - what I’m saying is that code shares don’t get split between two major carriers as far as I know.

            So you’ll never have a flight that is both United and Delta ticketed. But you’ll often have a flight that is United and ANA ticketed. Or Delta and ItalAir

        Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can’t just have been a bit of a bad smell…

      I can’t fathom the thinking of people who believe that adding more smell will make a bad smell better.

        Some smells mask smell of shit better. There’s even an old-school method of lighting and putting out the match after you did number 2: sulfur smoke kills the shittiness of ahit smell somehow
