Airplane Travel

Following the horrible incident on United Airlines (not the first time somebody has been kicked off a plane for odour), I am writing emails to several airlines regarding the need to train staff to be aware of metabolic malodour disorders. Please try to join me by writing to a few airlines too.

I would like to request that all air stewards and staff are trained in being aware of invisible disabilities including incurable metabolic malodours such as Trimethylaminuria, which results in the sufferer emitting a pungent odour. In light of the discriminatory actions of United Airlines,

our community is very worried that travelling with this condition could result in trauma and humiliation.

Another horrific discriminatory incident on an aeroplane. Please take the time to contact some airlines.

I also suggest that we purchase bracelets from IDA. If we can't control our odours, then we must protect ourselves from discrimination when travelling. In a sense we are disabled and, on the grounds of invisible disability, the law should offer us some protection from such horrible discrimination.

Would bracelets from IDA work? They acknowledged that the man smelt due to medical reasons. How did the man go back to his country if he couldn't get rid of his odor?

I had travelled a few times. I was very lucky that the passengers around me tolerated me. If I had been seated somewhere else during some of my flights, that I might be kicked out of the plane too.

Sadly, it turns out that the man who was removed from Transavia flight has died from a flesh-eating bug which was causing his odour! Transavia have never replied properly to my query about their treatment of this passenger - just fobbed me off.
