It's the sweatiest season of the year, and you don't need a thermometer to prove it. Just step aboard an airplane and take a deep breath. Peeee-yew! After a couple of hours, you're ready to rip the nose off your face. Maybe it's the guy sitting next to you with the B.O., bad breath and smelly feet. Or maybe — egad! — it's you!
Here are some sources of bad airplane smells, along with some advice on what to do about them.
The pits. If you've ever been on a full 747 flight to the Far East, then you've undoubtedly been hit with a sharp blast of body odor. In fact, armpit odor is hard to avoid in many countries of the world where antiperspirants are not widely used. The best advice I can give if you're trapped next to stinky pits is to put a dab of lotion with your favorite scent under each nostril. Every smell is transformed into a pleasant one. Crew members often share and compare lotions, and they say the most effective scent by far is lavender.

| That was hilarious. I was on a flight and a baby across the aisle let loose. Waiting for mom to get up. waiting waiting waiting nothing. Finally someone said something and she changed the baby. The poor kid was sitting in that. Let alone us having to smell it. That was the worst one.

Once spent an entire flight from JFK to Memphis breating into a Dunkin' Donuts bag to survive the B.O. stench of the lady in front of us... sad but true...
