Delta Airlines flight from New York's JFK Airport delayed after ultra-Orthodox Jewish passengers refuse to sit next to women
A Delta Airlines flight from New York's JFK Airport to Israel was delayed by half an hour when a group of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men refused to sit next to female passengers. Delta Flight 468, bound for Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport, was reportedly held up due to several Haredi passengers refusing to to sit in their assigned seats, which were in between two women.

Anyone who has ever been near these guys know how badly they smell, so I can't understand anyone wanting to sit next to one of them. They are so used to getting there own way that until someone stands up and says "NO", they will continue to push the issue to everyone's breaking point. Unless they paid for a full fair ticket, which I can guarantee they didn't, if they refuse to sit, they lose their place and deplane and that is the end of their ticket, no refund, no ability (even for $200) to change.
I don't know about a ticket to the fair, but it sure sounds like it was a circus.
Does not international law require that all passengers must show at the counter a legal certificate attesting that they took 30 minute showers every day for the previous 30 days and cleansed their bodies of all malfunctioning odors by using at least Kreso or better yet a good quality soap LOL!!). Unfortunately that law does not exist, once I had to give up a nice emergency row window seat and take an aile way back in a cramped seat, and you know why.
Next time, book side by side first class with your black hat boyfriends..
