One commenter on X, who said their partner was on the Delta flight, reported that it “smelled horrible” and that vanilla-scented disinfectant used to mask the odor “only made it smell like vanilla s---.”
Hahahahhaha.

INCREDIBLE stench if someone on a neighboring DELTA flight could smell the dog shit on this UNITED flight
They were relating in the article about another similar event on a Delta flight that had to divert for a human passenger's diarrhea.
Maybe it's just because I clean up dog poop everyday but human diarrhea is so much worse
Yeah even with code shares I don't think Delta and United are ever the same carrier. Maybe?
Seems unlikely though. Sky West and smaller carriers don't usually share flights between multiple big carriers afaik.
Delta and United are different companies.
Yes they are. Never said otherwise.
Code shares are weird and if you don't know about them you should look them up - what I'm saying is that code shares don't get split between two major carriers as far as I know.
So you'll never have a flight that is both United and Delta ticketed. But you'll often have a flight that is United and ANA ticketed. Or Delta and ItalAir
It must have been a truly … profound…. Smell if they weren’t able to clean it up after 2 hours and had to divert.
Diverting is really expensive for the airlines, so you know they only do it if there is no other way. So it can't just have been a bit of a bad smell...
Maybe there’s a formula, like cost per puke * pukers and when that exceeds the divert cost, they just go for it
Someone's seen Fight Club 😁
which airline do you work for?
a major one
dog softly growls
There was a really rich person pulling strings
I can't fathom the thinking of people who believe that adding more smell will make a bad smell better.
Some smells mask smell of shit better. There's even an old-school method of lighting and putting out the match after you did number 2: sulfur smoke kills the shittiness of ahit smell somehow

Betcha that if it happened in coach they would've kept going.
With a PA message that there is a free meal in the aisle for whoever wants it
Chicken or fish? Or poop?
boeing
wtf i love this dog now
If it had pooped in the coach aisle, they would have just stayed in the air.
If it happened in coach they would have turned the heat up so people could smell it better.
Fuckin Boeing at it again.
Probably not. With the build quality of Boeing planes, the floor would probably have collapsed under the weight of the turd 😉
Oh ffs another Boeing headline—-
Oh, ok, oh that’s good. Good dog
That poor, poor dog!!... it sounds like something serious like pancreatitis.
