United Airlines business class passenger drinks too much, vomits and eats it
A United Airlines business class passenger was reportedly served “too much” alcohol, drank too much – possibly in the lounge on the ground before throwing a few back into the air – and became ill. The woman didn’t go to the toilet and didn’t use a cold pack. She used…her tray table. And her wine glass.
The woman held still drink from the glass as the cabin crew reportedly stopped serving her any more alcohol.
Another passenger in the cabin who filmed the woman said that the cabin was now smelled. There were no other seats in the cabin to move to. And God knows the airline cabin crew had no intention of cleaning up and disinfecting the room. So the only solution offered was to “provide a bag of coffee grounds to keep nearby.” [the other passenger’s] Face to help with the smell.”
Hey @united – I paid almost $3,000 for this “luxury” business class experience where I got to sit next to an over-cared-for woman who was vomiting on her tray table during an 8-hour flight. She refused to use the vomit bag provided and I was told I couldn’t change seats #UnitedAirlines pic.twitter.com/17nxRRRJc8

I should mention that I witnessed this woman drinking her own vomit from a wine glass that she had vomited into after being disconnected. The only solution I was offered was to give me a bag of coffee grounds to keep near my face to relieve the smell #UnitedAirlines #polaris #CustomerExperience

Flight attendants know that one of the most important tools in their toolbox is used coffee grounds, which can also be used to combat a smelly toilet. I haven’t made a pot of coffee yet, but in a pinch, unused coffee grounds can also help.
The crew does not know how much a passenger has drunk on the ground. The combination of lounge drinking, possibly bar drinking at the airport and in-flight drinking can get messy. And tolerance varies depending on the passenger. Nevertheless, the woman may have shown signs of intoxication before the last drink. If the crew doesn’t spend enough time with each passenger, they probably won’t notice. Add ambient aircraft noise. Just because you’re flying premium class doesn’t mean you have Class.
