'Tidal wave' of in-flight sewage is the best headline in Sunday Times Travel News June 24

Flying the fetid skies is a new twist on airline disservice. Yesterday's victim-of-horror-story headlines was Continental Airlines, which otherwise does least badly in customer satisfaction surveys among the big network carriers. It had to do with toilets and, well, poo.

The unhappy fliers were on Continental Flight 1970 from Amsterdam to Newark, New Jersey, last week. Shortly after take-off, the toilets rebelled en masse, refused to flush and began overflowing. The pilot made an unscheduled pit stop in Shannon, Ireland, to have the facilities fixed. It turned into an overnight delay, before the journey was resumed the next morning.

Before long, according to passengers, all but one of the toilets were spewing waste and human sewage was seeping down the aisles. The flight attendants appealed to passengers to stop eating and drinking as the best solution. "I felt like I had been physically abused. I was forced to sit next to human excrement for seven hours," said Colin Brock of Washington state. "To be told that we were supposed to monitor what comes out the other end of us was insulting."
