Today, I finally got a good seat on a plane. I don't know what the man next to me had eaten, but I was trapped for two hours next to him as he let out silent, deadly egg farts the entire trip. There was nowhere to escape. FML

OP here! Just had to clarify - the seat was a free upgrade due to problems with the previous flight I was supposed to get. Comfortable roomy upgrade. I feel bad if it was a medical issue and did my best not to let it show on my face - however that was not a fun smell for two hours :(

That's like a whole new level of terrorism.

People seriously need to learn when and where to release their internal gassy juices. FYL op, FYL because egg farts are the worst.

Sounds like it wasn't such a good seat after all. That situation really isn't fun

Didnt the smell eventually go away? I mean olfactory fatigue will eventually kick in, unless it was a new bad smell every time he released, which is really ****** up.

There is a reason the plane has emergency oxygen masks

when you're in a seat you don't like, pretend to be claustrophobic and have a fake panic attack. worked for me. I was moved up to first class.

I'd have let a few go myself and see if he said anything. If so then tell him was masking his foul odour. If not blame him, sure the others on the plane did lol

What are egg farts? (I'm probably going to get a bunch of downvotes for this but whatever. I would love it if someone could kindly explain)

it's pretty self explanatory.... Toots that smell like egg, or rotten egg to be more specific.

I once sat on a 6-hour flight from New York to LA where someone was producing farts that smelled like rotten vegetables. You can't hear farts on an airplane, but by God you can smell them. It was so bad, other people in my area thought there had been some disaster in the bathrooms and asked the flight attendant to check. She came back and said, "Uh no, everything's fine in there. I think someone has gas." Then she quickly walked away. The only people who weren't complaining were the people in the row in front of us, so I'm pretty sure they were the culprits. To this day I have no idea what the hell they could have eaten.
