A PLANE passenger was disgusted when a man rested his "smelly and dirty" feet on her armrest during a flight.<\/p>\n
Pornpreeya Keng, 27, boarded a low-cost Vietnam Airlines flight from Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam earlier this summer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
But as she settled in her seat to enjoy the view out of the window, an offensive odour suddenly irritated her nose. <\/p>\n
When she looked down, she saw the source of the smell – a man's bare foot was poking through from the seat behind and propped up on her armrest.<\/p>\n
Footage from onboard the flight shows a visibly disturbed Keng recording the events, while sitting next to the offending feet.<\/p>\n
Keng said the inconsiderate passenger kept moving around to find a better sleeping position, causing the smell to intensify, claiming it even made her feel dizzy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She said: "I tried to shift in my seat to make him aware of my discomfort, but he didn't notice me. <\/p>\n
"I felt uncomfortable, but I did not want to confront him directly, so I took a video of his poor manners."<\/p>\n
Keng later called the attention of a flight attendant, who instructed the man to remove his feet on her behalf.<\/p>\n
Keng then disinfected her armrest with some wet wipes and used a menthol nasal inhaler to clear her sinuses of the smell.<\/p>\n

I felt it was unhygienic to have them on the armrest, so I disinfected it afterwards with an alcohol wipe.<\/p>\n "Everyone should educate themselves on proper flight etiquette. If anyone experiences what I did, inform the flight attendant and ask for help."<\/p>\n The rules are pretty clear for passengers who want to stretch their feet out during flights, according to Sun Online Travel's resident flight attendant.<\/p>\n Firstly, keep them covered up, secondly, keep them within the confines of your seat space.<\/p>\n They said: "Everyone's\u00a0boarding card\u00a0has a number and a letter on it highlighting exactly which section of plane they have paid for.<\/p>\n "Their feet, attached to their body, should never leave this area while passengers are seated and should always stay as far away from other people as possible.<\/p>\n "Anyone who insists on\u00a0stretching out, should at the very least make sure their feet are covered up, be it with socks or preferably shoes.<\/p>\n "Some people wait until they're sat down, in a small space in close proximity with total strangers, to get their feet out and I cannot for the life of me understand why they do it. It's horrendous."<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, this man got revenge on a woman after she put her smelly feet underneath his seat during a flight.<\/p>\n And this man divided opinion with his "no-nonsense" reaction to a passenger going barefoot on his plane journey.<\/p>\nPerfect rainy day ‘amazement’ attraction – with hidden doors & adults-only nights<\/h3>\n
