The family, made up of mum, dad and baby daughter, were told to leave the flight and were escorted off without their luggage
No matter the situation, nobody wants to be told they smell bad.
However one couple found themselves being publicly humiliated recently when they were told just that and escorted off an American Airlines flight because of it. According to Yossi Adler and his wife Jennie, staff at Miami International Airport booted them, and their 19-month-old baby daughter, off a plane telling them that they weren’t allowed back on due to their “bad body odour”.
Mr Adler, a 36-year-old business consultant, is adamant that they didn’t smell and claims his family were kicked off because they are Jewish. The family were preparing to fly from Miami to their home in Detroit on Wednesday, when the incident occured. But their plans fell through when passengers “complained” they smelled bad.
Speaking to WPLG Local 10 News, Mr Adler said: “All of a sudden, as soon as they took us off, they closed the gate and then they said, ‘Sorry sir, some people complained you had body odour and we’re not letting you back on’.” His wife claims they were so confused about the whole thing, they stopped people in the airport to find out whether they did in fact smell.
