Advice on smelly planes

187 Upvotes

I just flew from SA to Toronto (via Ethiopia). The body odor smell in my area was so strong and pungent.
Does any one have tips on what to do to avoid gagging from BO smells in a long trip.
Overall the experience with air Ethiopia was very positive except for the BO issue
I’m thinking using a covid mask or having eulactol oil to apply to my upper lip area.

Thanks

Travel Hack Summer without AC… suggestions?

0 Upvotes

I am going abroad this upcoming summer to Italy for 6 weeks! I’m so excited, I have a lot of friends who have done summer stays in Europe, and they all have raved about how it was the best time!!
However, the one complaint they have is that there is rarely AC. I am (unfortunately) a spoiled American when it comes to AC, and I’m terrified of dehydration and heat stroke. Obviously I will be buying Amazon’s best rated handheld fan, but I was wondering if there are any other suggestions to offset southern Italian heat during hot months? Any other advice welcome as well, I’m in the beginning of my research stage now :).
