Two passengers on an Air Canada flight bound from Seattle to Montreal faced an unsettling dilemma when they were asked to occupy seats that were still wet and tainted with vomit residue from a previous flight.

Susan Benson, a fellow passenger on the August 26th flight, shared the incident on Facebook, which has since gone viral, aiming to hold the airline accountable for the situation.

The unpleasant ordeal began when passengers noticed a foul odor in their vicinity, ultimately realizing it was emanating from the unsanitary seats. Air Canada had attempted a hasty cleanup after the previous flight, but it fell short of providing a thorough cleaning.

After raising concerns with a flight attendant, the passengers conveyed their inability to endure a five-hour flight under such conditions. Despite their calm and firm insistence, the flight attendants explained that it was a miscommunication with the cleaning crew, but all seats were occupied, leaving them with no alternative.

Subsequently, the pilot presented the passengers with two choices: disembark voluntarily and arrange their own alternative flights or be escorted off by security personnel and placed on a no-fly list. The latter option was chosen, and the passengers were escorted off the plane.

The flight experienced a 31-minute delay but eventually reached Montreal safely. Susan Benson’s Facebook post aimed to prompt Air Canada to address the issue and ensure a better passenger experience.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
