I recently flew from Zanzibar to Paris in July 2024, and it was by far the worst international flight experience I’ve ever had. I was forced to sit next to a passenger who continuously vomited into a bag and coughed on me throughout the flight. I requested several times to have my seat moved but was told the plane was full. After takeoff, I noticed multiple empty seats, and some passengers were able to stretch out and sleep comfortably. I, however, was still forced to stay in my seat next to the sick passenger. When I asked the flight attendant again after takeoff about changing my seat, she spoke in French to another attendant and a passenger near the bathroom, completely ignoring me. To make matters worse, the sick passenger's mother got up to dispose of the vomit bags, confirming she was seated next to me. They never came to sanitize the area or move me, leaving me in an unsanitary and uncomfortable situation for the entire 8.5-hour flight. As an educator traveling internationally for both business and leisure, I didn’t want to cause a scene, especially being a Black traveler in a situation where we often face unfair treatment. It’s disheartening to feel like I had no option but to endure this, knowing how things could escalate unjustly. After the flight, I emailed Air France, and after weeks of waiting, they responded with an insulting $100 voucher that wasn’t even valid, and they never followed up with a call or proper discussion. I do not recommend flying with Air France. It’s disappointing to see Delta partnered with them, leaving me with little choice when traveling internationally. The lack of care, customer service, and disregard for basic human decency on this flight was appalling.…
