Family kicked off American Airlines flight due to complaints about their body odor

A family vacationing in Miami said they were booted from an American Airlines flight this week due to complaints about their odor.
Yossi and Jennie Adler said they were forced off a flight from Miami to Detroit on Wednesday because passengers said they smelled bad.
The couple, along with their 1-year-old daughter, said they were escorted off the plane and told to book another flight due to several complaints, according to ABC
"All of a sudden, as soon as they took us off, they closed the gate and then they said, 'Sorry, sir, some people complained you had body odor and we're not letting you back on,'" Yossi Adler told WPLG in an interview from Miami International Airport on Thursday.
"There's no body odor that we have. There's nothing wrong with us," he added. "I want them to own up to what really happened and to tell me the truth."
Airline officials also told them that their luggage would be taken off the plane, but the couple said it never happened.
"They have our car seat, stroller, everything," Jennie Adler said. "We stopped several people in the airport and, it's embarrassing, but we asked them, 'Do you think we smell? Because we just got kicked off a plane for smelling.'"
American Airlines confirmed the family's story in a statement on Thursday and said it planned to cover their hotel and meal expenses for the night.
"Mr. Adler and his wife were removed from the flight when several passengers complained about their body odor," the airline told WPLG. "They have been booked into a hotel for the night and given meal vouchers. They have been rebooked on a flight Thursday."
The Adlers said they made it home to Detroit late Thursday and were reunited with their luggage.

"There's no body odor that we have. There's nothing wrong with us,"
I've never known anyone that could actually "Smell" themselves !
"Body Odor" is almost as bad as an open "Grease Trap" !
I know when I stink. Coming back from a camping trip I can't wait to jump in the shower, put a load of laundry into the machine and spray my truck seats down with Febreze.
Your married aren't you.
PSA to Mrs. Adler: Did you really think that people you approached would hang around to chat with a stranger about body odor?
In a different article, Mr. Adler said that they shower every day. Wonderful if they do. What many people don't understand is that even if their bodies are clean, they also need to wear clean clothing. If they continue to wear clothing in which they've perspired, the body odor from old perspiration will repeatedly become evident.
When multiple strangers complain to management, you know your shit stinks. Still, at least get them their stuff.
Nobody had like some body spray or perfume they could offer up? And if they don't, I know we're all on a schedule and all, but could we send an airline employe to one of the stores real quick for some Axe or something?
Unfortunately, covering up body odor with perfume or cologne doesn't work - and the combined smell is nauseating. Only a shower is going to get rid of that stench.
Not according to the French.
Not Axe. Anything but Axe, please.
OK, how about Febreze?
Febreze is my go-to stink killer for when I drive the many miles to town and don't feel like showering first.
The stuff works.
That would be better.
Any teacher will tell you that a room full of teenage boys who bathed in Axe body wash and then layered on Axe cologne, deodorant, and body spray is lethal.
I was visiting Nice, France a few years back. It was really hot that summer, 92 to 95 degrees every day. My friend and I got on the bus one morning to go to the Chagall Museum when I noticed I had BO. Oh f*#k ! I forgot to use deodorant !! When we got there I went straight to the restroom. There was liquid hand soap which I applied to my arm pits and it worked all day !
No chafing?
Nope, worked like a charm.
Reminds me of something gross I saw last night. A couple was sitting in the row in front of me at a show. The husband had a cough and kept coughing into a napkin. Then he handed it to his wife and asked her to smell it, and she did. She made a face like it smelled horrible. I about lost my lunch. Who does that?!
One thing people don't realize is smoking. When people smoke in their houses enough it can permeate their clothes.
The smokers usually don't smell it themselves. And I smoke. I know, bad.
