Tourist family fears durian for the rest of their lives after eating 5.5 kg right before flight

After the "half-laughing, half-crying" situation at Chiang Mai airport, family members said they didn't even want to mention durian again.

Mr. Ly (Chinese) shared that recently, 5 members of his family went on a trip to Chiang Mai (Thailand). Everything went smoothly until the last day at the airport.

"That day was September 16. Before returning home, my father bought a large durian with about 5.5 kg of segments. The plan was for the whole family to eat all of the durian on the way to the airport.

However, during the trip, the members saw many other delicious dishes on the way and wanted to try them. In the end, we had to try to finish all the durian before checking in for the flight" - Mr. Ly said.

In about 30 minutes, each member of Mr. Ly's family had to try to eat 4 or 5 large durian segments because they didn't want to waste any.

After boarding the plane, Mr. Ly and his family were overwhelmed by the strong smell of this fruit, causing surrounding passengers to misunderstand that "someone had secretly brought durian on the plane."

"I am really ashamed of the situation that day. Now, hearing the two words 'durian' makes me scared. In the future, I definitely won't dare to eat it again" - the male tourist emphasized.

Although known as the "king of fruits", durian has a very strong and volatile scent that can linger for a long time in the air and in closed compartments.

On planes, with limited space and a constantly circulating air filtration system, the smell of durian can easily cause discomfort, even nausea, for other passengers, affecting the flight experience.

In addition, some airlines are concerned that the strong smell of durian could be mistaken for gas or a technical problem, causing confusion. For safety and general comfort, most airlines prohibit durian from being carried on board, whether in the cabin or checked baggage.
