  • Passenger complains about coughing

    As we were disembarking this evening a passenger said in a very angry tone:

    "I am not at all happy, I was sat next to a passeneger who COUGHED constantly, she might have had swine flu, it's disgraceful!"

    I just said "oh...ok." What else could I say?

    Maybe if they had asked to be moved in flight I could have relocated them. But once the germs are in the air-conditioning that's it! How is the airline meant to moniter sick passengers? Coughing can be caused by a cold, pneumonia, TB, asthma, allergies, smoking etc

    No concern for us, the cabin crew, who fly many hours per week thus increasing our exposure to disease! But it's not something that I worry about unduly.
    No longer a flight atttendant!

    Right, so she's worried about a new strain of a disease that has half the mortality rate of the normal version?

    Lovely.

    How about this sparky, they might have just had a cough. Get over it.
    A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

      Even on the off chance that she did have swine flu, I don't see the benefit of complaining about it after the fact. Did she want you to give her a hug and tell her it was going to be okay?

        And I'll bet the SC had a purse-full of coughdrops on her too.

          Ugh...the air on planes is generally quite dry - I can get a bit coughalicious myself, but I always have coughdrops when I'm on a plane...
