Delta Passengers Asked to Choose Between Flight Delay or Departing with Cabin Smell
Passengers on a Delta Airlines flight at New York's LaGuardia Airport were asked by the pilot to choose between delaying departure for cabin cleaning or departing on time despite a dog urinating onboard during a previous flight. The pilot conducted a show of hands to decide, though the outcome remains unclear. The incident, shared by television host Jennifer Coffey on social media, sparked debate about pets on planes, with varied passenger reactions and no official response from Delta.
