Eight men of color were removed from a flight at the Phoenix Airport. Allegedly, one of them had a strong body odor. The men were not traveling together and did not know each other. Ultimately, it was decided by American Airlines there was no odor problem among the 8 passengers. So why were the men removed from the aircraft? Why only the black male passengers? Now the CEO of the airline has apologized and a lawsuit has been filed. An amazing, documented story of racism by a major airline. We update it for you.
Our Odds and Ends segment features tips to protect your money while traveling, and a simple idea on how to get what you want from Customer Services travel reps online or the phone.
