Weird World: man kicked off flight because he stank

A German man is suing an airline after being kicked off a flight for being too smelly. Werner Brechtfeld, 46, who had spent the day sightseeing in the hot Hawaiian sunshine, was asked to leave the plane in Honolulu when the person sitting next to him complained. The passenger told flight attendants that Mr Brechtfeld "stinks to high heaven". A spokesman at the Duesseldorf court where Brechtfeld is suing for damages, said: "He was asked to change t-shirts but his bags had already been checked in. So the air hostesses said he would have to get off the flight as he was disturbing other passengers. He had to wait four hours for the next flight and missed his connection to Germany." Brechtfeld is asking for £1,500 in compensation for missing his flight back home to Dusseldorf, via LA.
