A Delta flight had to turn around after maggots fell from a passenger bag stowed in the overhead compartment onto passengers.
The incident occurred during a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan.
A passenger’s suitcase containing rotting fish was responsible for the infestation.
After the plane landed, passengers were instructed to de-board while the suitcase was removed and destroyed.
Delta staff identified the owner of the suitcase and detained them on the plane.
Passengers received compensation in the form of 8,000 air miles, hotel room compensation, and a $30 meal ticket if they were delayed overnight.
