I just completed a flight which could have been one of my more unpleasant flying experiences. While I was in the boarding area I noted the unmistakable pungent aroma of severe body odor. I realized that it was coming from the guy in front of me on line to board. As fate would have it, of course
when I boarded I was in the seat right next to this guy. It was awful. I mean this guy smelled as if he were dead and his body were rotting. To top it off this was a 10hr flight from FRA-IAH.
All said this is not just a rant I offer a constructive solution.
Fortunately I had in my pocket one of those over-sized individually wrapped pep-o-mint lifesavers from the United Club. I bit a small section out of the candy creating a c shape out of the Life Saver. I then inserted this into my nose as if I were a bull wearing a nose ring. The continual smell of pep-o-mint over the next 10 hrs was truly a life saver!
While I may have looked like a complete ..., the alternative was yorking my guts up owing to the fetid nature of my neighbor. My 500 dollar club membership just became my purchase of the year. Thank you, life saver candy! Thank you United club!
PS I presume this technique will also have value when seated adjacent to someone who is degassing. I would recommend that all United Club members arm themselves with an extra pep-o-mint on the way out. When I see you at the U club pocketing an emergency Life Saver, or if I see you on board as the pep-o-mint bull Ill wink.
PPS UA insider please do not let the United Club jumbo pep-o-mint Life Savers go the way of the cheese plate grapes or be involved in some new enhancement for us frequent travelers.
