United Airlines Flight Diverted Due to Dog's Mess in First Class
A United Airlines flight from Houston to Seattle was forced to land in Dallas after a dog defecated in the first class aisle, causing significant disruption.
- The incident occurred on April 5, when a dog pooped in several spots in the first class aisle, leading to a diversion to Dallas.
- Crew members spent over two hours attempting to clean the mess, using paper towels and providing masks and alcohol wipes to passengers.
- The strong odor persisted despite efforts to clean, resulting in the first class bathroom being closed for the remainder of the flight.
- Passengers experienced discomfort as the smell lingered and the flight's meals were compromised during the wait.
- United Airlines allows pets in carriers under seats, but service animals can travel without a carrier, raising questions about the dog’s status on this flight.
