We all have our pet peeves when it comes to flying.
Kids kicking the back of your seat the whole way, the person next to you coughing and spluttering everywhere, the person who decides to watch their film without headphones.
Spare a thought for the passenger on this EVA Air flight who would have been thanking his lucky stars for dodging all that.
That is until the guy sitting behind got up and vomited on him moments before they were due to take off on a 13-hour trip from Taiwan to Austria.
Footage taken inside the cabin on May 25 shows the culprit looking worse for wear while still leaning on the seat in front as crew members surround him.
One can be see trying to lift him from his seat while colleagues remove his rucksack.
Other passengers reported spotting an empty bottle of whisky.
One told local media: ‘The cabin door was already closed, and then that person started vomiting.
‘There was an older man on his right, and when he saw him vomiting, he immediately stood up.
‘The flight attendants later helped move that older man’s seat, but that whole row was then blocked off and no one could sit there.’
Staff made the man disembark so they could clean the seat.
The flight was able to depart, but only after a delay of about half an hour, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Pilots made up for the lost time en route and the flight landed in Vienna, Austria, on time.
