US Woman "99% sure" Her Backpack Was Soaked In Pee On Frontier Flight, Internet Reacts
A US woman shared a bizarre experience faced by her sister recently on board a Frontier Airlines flight. In a viral Reddit post, the woman said that her sister found her backpack, kept underneath the seat, soaked in "urine". The staff "brushed her off" as she reported the incident that happened when she was flying from Seattle to Dallas on June 9. The woman said that she had kept her backpack under the seat in front of her, only to find that it was soaked when she picked it up before deboarding. She tried to dry it off in the aeroplane bathroom, but the paper towels came out yellow. She said her sister was "99% sure" that the person sitting in the seat in front of her peed during the flight and it leaked onto her backpack. The staff members "basically brushed her off and told her to go to the ticket counter", with a manager eventually telling her that they had to call their senior because "nothing like this has happened before". They didn't know what to do in such circumstances. The staff told her that the airlines couldn't do anything, and she needed to "settle it with the passenger". "This whole thing just feels... so gross and wrong," she said, further asking for advice on how to escalate. Should airlines take responsibility for such incidents? The post left the online users divided, as some sympathised with her while many said that the airlines can't do anything in this situation. One user said, "...the only thing you can do is to try and get the other person to pay, but it won't happen. Sh**ty (rather pissy) situation but yeah Frontier won't help, nor would any other airline TBH. No airline is taking liability for other passenger actions." "That is absolutely terrible, but I'm pretty sure Frontier won't care or do anything," another said. "This could happen on any airline. It's not Frontier specific. Some people are just dirty and don't care about others," another user said. On its website, Frontier Airlines said: "Frontier will not be liable for loss or damage to carry-on baggage unless such damage is caused by Frontier's or its agent's negligence, which does not include damage resulting from turbulence, shifting of items during flight, or ordinary handling, including placing the baggage in overhead compartments or under seats."

Passenger's bag subjected to disgusting act mid-flight — and the airline says it's not their problem
What a drip-off! A Frontier Airlines passenger was horrified to discover her under-the-seat carry-on bag was soaked with urine following a recent flight — and shocked when airline staffers waved off her complaints. The soggy saga unfolded on a Seattle-Dallas sojourn in early June — and went public after a family member shared the trickle-down theory in a popular Reddit post asking experienced travelers how to get the budget carrier to shoulder the bladder burden. Advertisement The passenger's sister explained that during the flight, the backpack was stored under the seat in front of her, and when she went to grab it when the flight was over, she realized it was 'soaked.' 'She assumed maybe water or soda, but when she tried to dry it off in the airplane bathroom, the paper towels came out yellow,' the post said. 'She's 99% sure the person sitting in the seat in front of her peed during the flight and it leaked onto her backpack.' Advertisement Right after deplaning, the passenger went right to the gate to try and report it, but 'the staff there basically brushed her off' and told her to go to the ticket counter. When she did that, they then sent her to the supervisor. 'She's literally carrying around pee soaked paper towels as evidence while getting bounced around the airport trying to find someone who will take her seriously,' the Reddit user wrote. A manager admitted that they had to call the general manager since they didn't know how to handle the situation because 'nothing like this has happened before.' Advertisement A Frontier Airlines passenger discovered that her carry-on bag was soaked with urine by the end of the flight. Alba Vitta Studio/Stocksy – They eventually told her that Frontier couldn't do anything about the situation and she would have to 'settle it with the passenger.' The poster found this advice to be 'ridiculous.' 'Who in their right mind is going to confront someone, but also confront someone about an unknown bodily fluids???' they questioned. Advertisement 'This whole thing just feels… so gross and wrong. A bodily fluid soaks her personal belongings, and she's being told she's on her own?' They told her that Frontier couldn't do anything about the situation and she would have to 'settle it with the passenger.' Getty Images One user who claimed to be a Frontier flight attendant commented on the post claimed that 'Frontier doesn't care about the cleanliness of our planes.' 'Frontier doesn't consider anything a biohazard unless it visibly contains blood (even if there is a reasonable possibility of it containing blood, such as urine, feces, or vomit).' 'We also don't have cleaners. FAs pick up trash from the seatback pockets and GAs are supposed to do everything else. Most times if there is stuff on the seats we can't get them to do anything. The times they've had to clean them, due to something extreme like vomit, all they've done is lightly wipe the seat with some paper towels and maybe some basic cleaning spray.' The Post has contacted the airline for comment. Meanwhile, Frontier's contract of carriage states that the airline is not responsible for incidents like the one described. 'Frontier will not be liable for loss or damage to carry-on baggage unless such damage is caused by Frontier's or its agent's negligence, which does not include damage resulting from turbulence, shifting of items during flight, or ordinary handling, including placing the baggage in overhead compartments or under seats.'

Nissan Launches Killer Frontier Lease Deal for June
The midsize truck segment has become increasingly crowded over the past decade, with several models making a return. The Nissan Frontier has maintained a consistent presence over the years, launching its third generation in 2022. The segment has grown fiercer, with many consumers turning to midsize trucks over full-size options due to rising prices. Nissan has responded by offering a pretty slick lease deal on a new Frontier. Depending on where you live, you could lease a new Nissan Frontier for as little as $359 per month. This specific lease deal spans 39 months and requires a $4,609 down payment. The Nissan Frontier arrives with updated styling and amenities for the 2025 model year. The midsize pickup boasts an updated front end, and a six-foot long bed model is now available at all trim levels, except for the base S. In terms of tech, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen display joins the list of options, and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The pickup also sees its maximum towing capacity increased to 7,150 lbs when properly equipped. Nissan also added some new safety tech, including adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning. The 2025 Nissan Frontier comes in five trim levels, one of which is the dedicated off-road PRO-4X. While the base trim comes with an impressive list of standard amenities, stepping up to the SV trim nets the best value. Coincidentally, the SV trim is the model that's also subject to some of the best June lease deals. The Frontier SV is available in two- and four-wheel drive configurations, features 17-inch wheels, and starts at $35,790 with a crew cab body style. Under the hood lies a 3.8-liter V6 engine mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission, delivering 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with rear-wheel drive, the Frontier is rated for 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Inside, the Frontier SV features a seven-inch digital information display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Soft-touch materials and cloth seating come standard, but you can upgrade to leather upholstery, along with heated front seats and steering wheel, with the SV Convenience package. There's a handful of Nissan Frontier lease offers available throughout the country, but most of them are solid deals. New York City seems to get the best deal for an SV crew cab with four-wheel drive, $359 per month, and $4,609 due at signing. Detroit is close behind, with a $379 monthly payment and $4,619 for that same model. The Chicago area can get into the same SV model for $399 per month when paired with a $4,559 down payment. Los Angeles and Miami residents can get behind the wheel of a two-wheel drive Frontier SV crew cab for as little as $379 per month, with $4,129 due at signing. Seattle, Denver, Austin, and Charlotte share a similar lease deal: $399 per month with a $4,409 down payment. All lease offers are for a 39-month term with a 10,000-mile annual allowance. These particular lease deals run through June 30th, so don't dawdle if you want to park a new Frontier in your driveway! The midsize truck segment might be more competitive than in the past, but the 2025 Nissan Frontier is still a solid offering. With upscale tech, including wireless smartphone integration, and a towing capacity topping 7,000 lbs., the Frontier can compete with the best. As full-size trucks become pricier, more consumers are moving toward midsize models, and Nissan is positioning itself strategically with this June lease deal. If you want a new Nissan Frontier, make sure to act before June 30th! Lease offers may vary according to location, vehicle configuration, and are subject to credit approval. Advertised monthly payments don't necessarily include taxes, title, registration, or other fees.

Passenger Gets 'VIP Seat' on Southwest Flight, Not Prepared for Flight Attendant's Request
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Southwest Airlines passenger boarding in Group B was surprised to find himself offered a prime emergency exit row seat—until flight attendants revealed the real reason. Standing on the jet bridge, the man—who described himself as 6 feet, 6 inches (1.98 meters) in height, 250 pounds (113 kilograms) in weight and a retired combat veteran—noticed two flight attendants peer down the boarding line, lock eyes with him, exchange words and reenter the plane. 'VIP seat' Moments later, after scanning his boarding pass, the original poster (OP) was met by a smiling crew member at the aircraft door who whispered, "We've saved you the VIP seat in the emergency exit row." Typically coveted for its extra legroom, the emergency row seat was already being guarded by another flight attendant who blocked other passengers from sitting there.

Photo by Seibel Photography LLC / Getty Images As the man sat down, the attendant apparently leaned in and explained, "You're gonna be my ABA for this flight." Still puzzled, the OP was informed that ABA stands for "Able-Bodied Assistant"—a person flight attendants can quietly assign on flights to help in the event of an emergency, or if an onboard situation arises. The man then learned there was more to the story. "They had a very drunk, very large man two rows ahead of me with his equally drunk wife," the OP told Redditors. "Evidently, they had been on the flight when it landed and given them trouble. Not enough to get kicked off, but enough to make them nervous." Flight attendants typically enlist ABAs seated in exit rows to assist in evacuations if needed, but the designation is also informally used by some crews as a strategy to place calm, physically capable passengers near potential disruptions. "The flight was uneventful," the man added. In a follow-up message to Newsweek, the OP said he flies quite often. "Since COVID, I've noticed people getting meaner towards flight attendants," he wrote. "It's almost as if consequences don't matter. There are certain airlines I won't fly because it's almost like I'm flying 'Con-Air' (Spirit, Frontier)." He added that he was a retired combat veteran of six tours and was "happy to help" the attendants. 'The drunks aren't going' According to Newsweek reports, flight attendants have been praised for their caring work with customers, although sometimes the interactions can be tense. Back on the Reddit story and commentators were generally appreciative, with one person in particular responding, "As the parent of a 6'4 child, this makes me very happy!" A fellow user shared that their 70-year-old father is also 6 feet, 6 inches in height. "He's had this happen many times where he boards and the flight attendant says, 'Here's your seat, sir!'" A contributor quipped: "Well, this explains why a large muscular person always gets seated two rows behind me." However, a critic felt the flight attendants should have done more: "30 year stewardess here. If someone is so drunk on my flight that I think I may need an ABA, the drunks aren't going. "The law is they cannot 'appear to be intoxicated.' Glad things worked out well." Newsweek's "What Should I Do?" offers expert advice to readers.
