DENVER (CBS4) Frontier Airlines says they are aware of a recent situation aboard a flight from Denver to South Carolina in which a passenger allegedly urinated on the passengers seat in front of him.
According to another passenger on the flight, the man urinated on the seat in front of hers after being kicked out of his previous seat for inappropriate behavior. The passenger told CBS4s Dillon Thomas she was sitting in the same row as the man, across the aisle, when he unbuckled his seat belt and urinated on the back of the chair.
The woman said the male passenger was moved to the row she was in after he allegedly verbally and physically assaulted two other women near his previous seat. She also said the man allegedly touched one sleeping female passenger and later asked another woman about her sexual and marital life. She said one flight attendant warned her of his previous actions, and told her to monitor his status. It was then when the passenger photographed the suspect urinating on the seat.
The woman said the suspect was arrested at the gate in Charleston approximately 30 minutes later. She and two other women filled out statements for law enforcement. The passenger claimed the airline provided her an outdated complaint card, which provided disconnected phone numbers. When she called a booking agent, the woman said she was told the airline would refund her checked baggage fee and would give her a $200 voucher.

(146,286 posts)Most airline flights, by a huge margin, are uneventful. Passengers get on the plane, it flies, and they get off at their destinations without incident. Millions of people fly and never experience anything more than a little inconvenience, uncomfortable seating, and boredom for a few hours in the air.
Flying remains a safe way to travel long distances for a reasonable amount of money. There is inconvenience involved, of course, and the airports and security screenings are a bit of a hassle, but for long journeys that would take days, the convenience of sitting in a plane for only a few hours makes up for that.
Wherever you are in the United States, you can be anywhere else in the United States on the same day. Flying is the only form of travel that can do that. So, we fly. Millions of us.
Very rarely, something like what happened on the flight in this story occurs. So rarely that most people who travel by air have never experienced such a thing.
I'll keep flying, thanks.
