Dear @airtransat
What more can I say? As if it was not enough to find fresh blood on the seat in front of me, one of your flight attendants provided me with disinfectant wipes to wipe it off with my bare hands. Thank God for common sense, I asked for gloves and wiped the blood… pic.twitter.com/4Lk6tS4ujF — Birgit Umaigba Omoruyi ???????????????? (@birgitomo) December 3, 2023
One user recalled discontinuation of seat cleaning services between flights, stating, "Back in the day my aunt worked for Delta. She was cleaning staff. They decided to discontinue this because there was no time between flights anymore. Disgusting that we get to sit in a damn petri dish because they want to cram as many flights in as they can."
Several travelers shared their habit of carrying disinfectant wipes to clean their seating area on flights. One comment read, "I always bring disinfectant wipes with me on an aeroplane. Always."
The incident highlights growing concerns about hygiene and cleanliness standards on flights, prompting passengers to take their own precautions to ensure a safe and sanitary travel experience.
