After noticing an unpleasant smell upon finding his seat, he toldYahoo Lifestyle, “I went to take my charger out, bent down completely to charge my phone and realized it’s not just a smell, it’s actually feces and it’s all over the back of my legs, it’s all over the floor, all over the wall of the plane. And I sat in it.”
He claims he asked flight attendants for cleaning supplies but was only given two paper towels and a small bottle of gin to wash himself off with. When he asked to speak to a manager, he claims she told him, “Well that’s not my problem.”

“I said, ‘I’m sorry?’ She says, ‘Well, if the cleaning crew didn’t clean your seat, I don’t have any control over that,'” Meehan said.
Next, Meehan claims he asked for a cleaning crew to be brought on board but he was told his options were to sit down or “not go home” because they were only a few minutes away from their scheduled departure. He claims other passengers on board would not sit in their seats until it was clean, and said that an employee wiped it with paper towels.

“It filled the entire plastic bag. Paper towels full of feces, and they wanted me to sit in that,” Meehan said. “I have never in my entire life felt more dehumanized. I felt like an animal. Words can’t even describe how awful it was, and they had so many opportunities to make it right.”
The airline also confirms that they offered to rebook the customer on an alternate flight, which he declined, and offered to reimburse him for his shoes and suit and provide additional compensation.
According to a spokesperson for the airline, the mess was attributed to aservice animalfrom the previous flight who had gotten sick on board.
“The safety and health of our customers and employees is our top priority, and we are conducting a full investigation while following up with the right teams to prevent this from happening again,” they continued. “Upon landing in Miami, the aircraft was taken out of service to be deep cleaned and further disinfected.”
