Friday night’s Delta flight 112 Boston to Rome appears to have turned back over the Atlantic two hours after departure, diverting to New York, when a passenger reportedly had “severe bouts of diarrhea all over” their seat.
This incident on board an Airbus A330 was deemed a “medical issue.” Biohazards have been a common theme recently given Delta getting passengers sick from moldy chicken and several diarrhea flights.

The flight was two hours into its journey when the pilots told air traffic controllers they were turning back. The airline confirmed there.. pic.twitter.com/3zyhslJt1Z

Passengers on this particular Rome flight clearly wished that the CrowdStrike outage had been ongoing. Maybe it’s time for Delta to revert its ‘Keep Climbing’ slogan back to Delta Is Ready To Go When You Are.
I always pack anti-diarrhea pills when I travel lol
This is all just a ploy by the flight attendants to stop serving meals…..the last real vestiges of “work that they have left. Funny how all the turbulence, shitting happens only during or because of serving meals.
Premium squirtage
Maybe time to invest more than $1.25 per passenger meal.
To experience an elevated, thoughtful flight with elite guests defecating on their seats, choose Delta.
What about the risks of cabin-wide food poisoning? The food comes from the same kitchen, same preparers. Lots of risk.
Maybe Delta should provide free diapers to passengers before their flight to avoid such accidents in the future…
Caveat Emptor.
Okay, so you’ve almost assuredly spent upwards of $3000 to fly across the pond. So, you want that in-flight meal. Only natural.
Yet, unless one possesses a tenuous grasp of reality… one knows that airline food should not be trusted.
Pack a snack or a sandwich or two made from your own kitchen.
When you arrive and unpack you can actually have access to quality food at your destination.
In good health.
The passenger should just sit in the lavatory.
Careful with anti-diarrhea pills. Diarrhea is often bad bacteria that needs to be pooped out, not retained in the intestines.
Amtrak has suites (Roomettes) where you lift the chair to find your toilet. Maybe Delta needs those?
Premium airline, premium shittage.
For this flight, simply update the Delta Air Lines slogan “Keep Climbing” with “Keep Pooping.”
The flight took off at 10:32pm UTC and was turning back by 11:22pm UTC per flightradar24. No time for meal service so that should not be blamed. If food is the blame, it may have been bought at the airport or on the way to the airport. It may have been because the person was sick from another illness instead of bad food. It is possible that the sign to stay buckled in was still on from before leaving the gate and the person simply had held it too long.
Another Crappy Delta Experience
This may not be caused by bad airline food. There are so many people now taking Ozempic or one of the other weight loss meds, and sudden, uncontrollable diarrhea is often one of the side effects.
Terrible situation, especially for the person who was ill. Don’t know if it would’ve mattered here, but wish FAs would announce that if you’ve really got to go, by all means ignore every other instruction and just go.
It would be funny except it’s NOT… not for anyone. First of all, stop blaming the airline food. This was somebody’s personal problem, and it could be for a number of reasons, but I bet $1 million that the individual asked to go butthe Attendant told him to wait because of “the seatbelt sign”. I have seen probably 10 different instances in the last couple years where older men asked to go but were ordered back to their seats. On a flight 2 weeks ago, we’d been sitting on the runway for 60 minutes, waiting for the okay to takeoff. An older man asked several times, and the female stewardess told him it was not allowed. After exactly 60 minutes, he pleaded with her that something terrible would happen if he couldn’t use the restroom immediately. I know this was difficult for him, because ALL of us around him could hear his panic & feel his embarrassment. She eventually let him go. He did his business, got safely back to his seat before we ever moved, and we had no 15-ft streaks of poopy hazmat running down the aisle on that flight.
These stewardesses that just got raises up to as high as $90,000/yr need some training in physiology and grace.
It really is a biohazard problem; someone was uncontrollably sick.
Diarrhea & vomiting are symptoms of Covid, amongst other problems.
Returning avoids quarantine of everyone at the destination, and spread of disease.
Weird. It looks like Tim’s diarrhea of the mouth but on a plane. and it’s even on delta… how appropriate
He just can’t keep anything inside his own body.
Note to self… pack the Imodium in my carryon.
Shocker. A self-proclaimed “premium” airline is really a shit airline. Delta lies. Ed Bastian is a liar. Delta is forever immortalized as DIARRHEA DELTA with PREMIUM POOP.
@ Jonna. Interesting point. I suspect you are 100% correct since the side effects of the drug semaglutide covers just about every undesirable bodily function one doesn’t want to experience, especially when traveling.
