Benson said workers sprayed the area with perfume to hide the smell. The passengers assigned to those seats told a flight attendant that the seat and seatbelt were wet and they could still see vomit. The attendant and a supervisor told them that the flight was full, and they would just have to sit there.

The women were attempting to use blankets and wipes to settle in when one of the pilots showed up, Benson wrote. She said the pilot told the women, who were on their way to Vienna, that they could leave and book new flights at their own expense “or they would be escorted off the plane by security and placed on a no fly list!”

Benson said the pilot accused the women of being rude to the flight attendant, which she disputed — “they were upset and firm, but not rude!”

    How bad has it gotten that Canadians don’t even apologize to each other anymore? This is some kind of end-times canary for sure.

      Air Canada is much like the Canada Goose.

      One of the things that flies, but also an ornery bastard.

      Canadian here, that’s mostly a myth. Everyone’s an asshole up here too.

        As a dual citizen who’s lived in both, agreed. Americans and Canadians are exactly the same.

    Most fast-food workers have better soft skills than this.

    Vomit covered seats is the standard package with aircanada now. They must have missed the option to upgrade for 299 to have a seat without bodily fluids.

    The flight attendant wasn’t getting paid if the doors of the plane were still open. Maybe if Air Canada paid them, they would care about vomit.

    Okay, I consider myself pretty reasonable in the face of inconvenience, but there’s no way in hell I’d sit in a seat covered in vomit, and I’d certainly make a stink about getting another flight paid for. I know the flight crew probably didn’t have time to fully deal with the situation between flights, but the airline should have some kind of contingency for dealing with a potential biohazard situation.

    Don’t tell us… Tell the airport police you called to escort them off the plane, and the no fly list you added them to because they didn’t want to sit in vomit.

    Ungrateful people. The vomit was complimentary. They don’t even give you peanuts anymore.

    They were wiping the seats down themselves, such champs

    Air Canada is dispelling the decades-old reputation that Canada has for being polite…
