Woman forced to sit next to dead passenger aboard Kenya Airways

The man reportedly died a few hours into the overnight flight, despite efforts by the crew and passengers to revive him.


Pettersson, who was headed to Tanzania on vacation, was compelled to sit across the aisle from the corpse for the rest of the trip.

"I asked to move, but they said there were no other places," she said. However, after returning home, Pettersson emailed the airline, which eventually apologized and refunded about half the cost of her 1,400 dollars ticket. "This feels much better. It is reasonable," Pettersson added.
