Washington: Two passengers on an Air Canada flight from Seattle, USA to Montreal, Canada were kicked off the plane simply because they refused to sit on seats stained with vomit.
According to media reports, Susan Benson, a passenger on the same plane who shared the incident, was seated near the seats of the two passengers.
In a Facebook post that went viral, Susan said the two passengers were taken off the plane after the pilot accused them of being rude to the flight attendant.
Giving details of the incident, Susan said that apparently someone had vomited on the seat on the previous flight. Air Canada attempted a quick clean-up before passengers boarded on the second round, but clearly could not do a thorough clean-up. The seat belts and seats were still visibly stained with vomit and there were vomit splatters around the seats. The stench was still noticeable despite trying to mask the smell with perfume.
