oxygen masks, PLEASE.

A couple posts ago I raved about how much I enjoy my flights, especially on JetBlue. But let me tell you, my flight back from Vegas to NYC was not so enjoyable. Not because JetBlue was unsatisfactory in any way, but because one of the other passengers on the plane.

Two hours into the flight I began smelling this terrible odor, only to realize someone near me had farted. I tried to ignore it and continued to watch my TV. About 20 mins later, the same odor suffocated my space. I feel like the odor of a fart is like 5x worse in a plane because one's personal space is so confined and the air already seems rather stale. This time I looked around to identify the perpetrator, but then didn't do anything futher.

THEN, honest to God, it happened again about 20 mins later! I began to suspect it was the woman NEXT to me. She kept on shifting bizarrely in her seat, but she also was pretending to sleep. But goodness gracious, she just couldn't hold it in. This continued for the REST OF THE 6 HOUR FLIGHT.

What does one do in a situation like this? "Excuse me miss, can you please stop passing gas. It smells terrible." I considered it in my mind, but decided to tough it out passive-aggressively.
