My relative was a stewardess, and she said the ups and downs of many flights a day (domestic, multiple small flights) combined with airline food would give them all gas.
They had a maneuver they called “crop dusting “ whereby they would release their gases during nonchalant walks up and down the aisle.
This helped disperse the fumes rather than leaving them concentrated.
You call it disperse the fumes, I call it maximising the victims.
Best one to use after finishing your crop dust:
"Anyone else smell popcorn?"
Due to the lower air pressure inside of an airplane when af cruising altittude (comparable to the pressure at around 2500m of altitude, iirc) the gasses in the bowels expand, causing more discomfort. That’s why everyone gets more gassy in a plane, although I can imagine that airplane food and fucked up circadian rythms contribute as well.
Love the term crop dusting btw.
