A pilot at LaGuardia Airport asked passengers to vote on whether to delay a flight for cabin cleaning or depart on time with the smell of dog urine, the New York Post reported. The incident occurred after a dog relieved itself on the aircraft during an incoming flight. [1]

According to the New York Post, television host Jennifer Coffey shared the account on social media on Monday. She stated that the pilot announced the situation to travelers and asked for a show of hands from those who preferred to travel with the smell to reach home on schedule. [1]

LaGuardia Airport is a civil airport located in East Elmhurst, Queens, New York City, on the northwestern shore of Long Island along Flushing Bay. The facility covers 680 acres, was established in 1929, and began public operations in 1939. It is named after former New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia. [3]
