    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.

      It must have been a truly … profound…. Smell if they weren’t able to clean it up after 2 hours and had to divert.

        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…

          Maybe there’s a formula, like cost per puke * pukers and when that exceeds the divert cost, they just go for it

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