Plane Passenger Realizes Rental Car Mistake, But There's a Bigger Problem
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A United Airlines plane passenger declares that he is "an idiot" after what happened while checking his car rental reservation. The passenger, going by the username theapeway, on Reddit, said that after pre-boarding his flight from Houston to Indianapolis, he checked the rental app. The original poster (OP) realized that he made his reservation for a day before he was supposed to arrive, with the app saying that he was, "20 hours overdue." Bad Day Gets Worse As the OP processed the mistake, another passenger walking past vomited directly into the aisle. "I got smoked," theapeway told Redditors, adding, "I'm proud of myself for not gagging and the [flight attendants] were incredibly nice trying to get me and the cross aisle fellow traveler cleaned up." The OP said he has flown nearly 400 segments in two and a-half years, but this was a first. The sick passenger tried to contain the vomit, which only worsened the situation.

Getty "The dude spewing tried to do the polite thing by trying to catch it, thus creating a marvelous fountain of hurl," theapeway described. Despite the chaos, the OP's day gradually improved. Avis provided him with a car. He showered at a hotel and "crawled" into bed by 2 a.m. Passenger's Praise In a message to Newsweek via Reddit, the OP said that he cannot stress enough how kind the flight attendants were. The situation on board ultimately delayed the flight by about an hour as United dispatched cleaners to take care of it, he added. "One FA offered me a little perfume and a Tide pod for when I got to the hotel," theapeway told Newsweek. "She also volunteered to get close and smell me to make sure I wasn't rank for the guy sitting next to me, one of the best FAs I've encountered and I fly a lot. "I did lose out my car rental reservation, but even though Avis was sold out, they scrambled to find me something," he continued. "It was a long day and an unpleasant experience for sure, but the crew was awesome!" 'I'm a sympathetic vomiter' The story prompted reactions from Reddit users, some sharing travel tips, others offering support. "Dude, this is so not your day," a supporter commiserated. "Props for handling it like a pro and being able to laugh about it (now). If it helps, I double-checked my car reservation for this week to make sure I know what month/day it was." The OP's tale, "is why I always pack an extra outfit (very simple, just a change) in my carry-on," remarked an individual. "Never had to use it, I flew just a few days ago and almost didn't take it, but threw it in at the last minute! And I have one of those Vicks inhalers clipped to the zipper too because I'm a sympathetic vomiter." Others hoped the sick passenger recovered, with one writing, "That sounds awful! Not sure what the guy's situation was, but hope he's OK as well." Messy Flights and Airline Protocol Similar incidents have raised questions about how airlines handle mid-flight messes. In one case reported by Newsweek, a passenger on a Delta flight detailed how he and his son were apparently forced to sit in a seat contaminated by vomit for hours. In that story, the passenger spoke to Newsweek, saying, "it was unmistakable for vomit. The side of the seat and the wall were covered." In another Newsweek story, a plane passenger detailed a disastrous travel mishap as they accidentally dropped their passport through a narrow, inaccessible hole in an airport floor, just moments before boarding their flight.

The 5 medications that could see you JAILED if you take them on holiday this summer – including hay fever pills
Popular allergy treatments like Vicks inhalers are banned and could get you arrested at the airport BITTER PILL The 5 medications that could see you JAILED if you take them on holiday this summer – including hay fever pills Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IF you're heading abroad this summer, packing some preventative medicines might seem like the sensible thing to do. But be warned, some common drugs, including antihistamines and painkillers, could land you with hefty fines or even jail time in certain countries. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Many countries have strict restrictions on common UK medications - despite millions of us using them. Credit: Getty While these meds are legal to buy over the counter in the UK, they're banned or tightly restricted in several countries. And being caught with them, even by accident, can mean your dream holiday turns into a nightmare. Here's what to watch out for: 1. Antihistamines Hay fever sufferers, take note. Japan has some of the strictest anti-stimulant drug laws in the world - and that includes antihistamines, the Foreign Office has previously warned. Popular allergy treatments like Vicks inhalers and Sudafed are banned and could get you arrested at the airport. Anyone caught bringing them in risks detention or deportation. 2. Codeine The opioid painkiller, codeine, is banned in over 25 countries, including several in Europe. Yet in the UK, you don't even need a prescription - codeine is available over the counter in pharmacies as co-codamol, which combines codeine with paracetamol. Even bringing small amounts of the stuff abroad to certain places can get you into serious trouble. In Hungary, it carries up to five years in jail. In Slovakia, it's three. Other risky destinations include: Austria - Up to six months in jail Belgium - Up to five years in jail Croatia - £550 to £2,250 in fines (€650 to €2,600), plus up to 90 days in jail Czechia - £510 fine (15,000 Kč) Finland - Up to six months in jail Luxembourg - £210 to £4,200 fine (€250–€5,000), plus up to six months in jail Romania - Up to two years in jail Sweden - Up to three years in jail Even in countries like Greece or Cyprus, you'll need a valid prescription to carry codeine. Always check the rules for your destination online before you travel, and speak to your GP in advance to get any necessary paperwork. 3. Sleeping pills The United Arab Emirates (UAE) have a zero tolerance on an array of over-the-counter medications that are sold daily in the UK. Sleeping pills like temazepam, which are legal here, are strictly banned in the Emirates, and getting caught with them could land you behind bars. Even if you have a prescription from your GP, you'll need to apply for approval from the UAE Ministry of Health before travelling. 4. Cannabis-related products 2 It's generally recommended to avoid travelling abroad with any CBD based products Credit: Alamy Even CBD oil with zero THC is illegal in countries like Singapore, the UAE, and Japan, among others. It doesn't matter if it's for anxiety or pain, all cannabis products are banned in these regions. Getting caught with CBD at the airport could lead to arrest, detention, or even deportation. For example, in China, it is illegal to bring CBD into the country, with possession carrying a potential jail time of seven years. This is because in some places, possession is treated the same way as carrying hard drugs. It's generally not recommended to travel abroad with any CBD based products. 5. ADHD medicines Stimulants used to treat ADHD are a major red flag in some countries. In Japan, they are completely banned, even with a prescription. To bring them in legally, you'll need special clearance from the Japanese government, including medical proof - a process that takes weeks. How to check what is allowed? You can check which medications you can take in and out of the UK here. The UK government also recommends checking with the relevant embassies before travelling to make sure that you don't break any rules. You can find the full list for embassy contacts here. British prescriptions are not accepted at international pharmacies, so you'll need to take enough medicine with you for your entire trip. Ensure that you take your prescription and doctor's letter wherever you are travelling. Consider having the doctor's letter translated into your destination's language to make the journey easier. The strict rules are designed to keep travellers safe and to prevent drug tourism.
