She’s causing a stink.
A traumatized traveler is railing against Canadian carrier WestJet after she was booted from certainly one of their flights for excessive bathroom use before takeoff.
Writer Joanna Chiu took to Twitter to stipulate the incident last Friday — but many responded saying the airline’s flight attendants were correct to eject her.
“Just got kicked off a @WestJet flight from Mexico because I had an upset stomach and was going to the washroom an excessive amount of before takeoff,” the author raged. “No promise of a hotel or rebooked flight. I had meds and was on the mend.”
“Should you’re sick before a flight, hold it in…” she added.
Chiu was flying back to her home city of Vancouver, Canada but she didn’t disclose the situation in Mexico from which she was departing.
After being told the leave the plane, a rushed Chiu claimed she left her money on board the aircraft and a “WestJet supervisor refused to pay for my taxi to a hotel 20 min away.”
After the encounter with the allegedly aggressive supervisor, the writer “burst into tears” before she purportedly spoke to a different airline representative.
“She was much nicer but refused to provide me a booking reference for my rebooked flight. She told me to only come back to the airport tomorrow and ask on the counter,” Chiu explained in her lengthy Twitter thread.
“WestJet DM’d me my booking reference number after I had asked for it repeatedly on the airport,” she continued. “I ended up getting within the taxi because I used to be legitimately anxious about getting arrested.”
On Sunday, Chiu returned to Twitter to inform followers that she had finally made it back to Vancouver.
She subsequently shared a message urging travelers to “check whether your destination is understood for stomach bugs.”
“Should you go to the washroom before a flight, and the flight attendant asks in the event you are sick, say you only have a small bladder,” the author advised.
Many Twitter users were lower than sympathetic to the author’s plight, saying WestJet employees were acting responsibly by ejecting her from the plane.
“You might be unsuitable for this. Many stomach bugs are extremely contagious, a whole flight may very well be taken down by one selfish person,” one chided.
“As a former flight attendant, they made the appropriate call. I can’t vouch for a way they communicated to/with you, but the choice wasn’t unsuitable,” a second declared.
Nevertheless, others offered their sympathies to the sickly scribe, saying she deserved higher treatment.
“That’s awful! Really adding insult to injury. Hope you’re feeling higher soon,” one kind-hearted follower wrote.
