Do you pass gas during flights or hold it?

Everyone farts. I’ll fart whenever I need to, even on a plane. It won’t be a rugshaker but certainly a SBD.

I'm sort of questioning the premise here. People can hold in gas for 6+ hours? Including trips to the bathroom? No way.

Yea, if I hold it, I get bloated, and it feels really uncomfortable. Plus, sometimes, it just squeeks out.

If it's not smelly, it's fine. But one time, the lady next to me was letting out some foul ones. I'm sure she could smell it, too. She should've gone to the bathroom.

You get gassier on planes, btw. I fart a lot on planes. I also pee a lot planes. Can't help it.

How do people hold it? Mine usually just come out - I can try to control the sound but I can’t just not fart.

I don't know about the gas, but DH can hold his pee for 12+ hours. He once did that on a flight to the UK, got a car, drove 2 hours, and then pee'd when he got to the destination. DD can also hold her pee for 6+ hours. Probably inherited from DH.

DS is more like me, but I'm the worst. I always sit in the aisles seats because I have to pee like every hour or so.

The only way I know to control the sound is to spread the cheeks. How do you control the sound in public?

I am pretty sure most people do not hold it, and I just had the “pleasure” of sitting directly behind a person like you on a flight from Lisbon - the guy farted the entire time and the smell was unbelievable

I try not to fly American or European airlines. Mainly because the gut biome of people from these cultures is absolutely messed up and it results in terrible BO as well as farts.

Best is to fly in Middle Eastern airlines. Their gut biome is good, they exercise (5 times a day of reading Quran requires lots of bending and bowing) enough that they don't have gas, they don't have BO. Plus, no farts. Plus, expensive perfumes.

Every person will pass gas, but if it smells then they have a messed up digestion or very unhealthy diet.

Most of the time, you should not feel, hear or smell your farts. It should escape silently and without stink.

I"m pretty sure when flight attendants do this they call it "crop dusting" as they walk down the aisle.

Its normal to be gassy on flights bc of the altitude.

I adhere to St. Augustine's Just Fart theory. I fart only in self defense, only to restore peace, and only as a last resort.

I don’t know - I just use the muscles in my butt and pray it comes out silently. I’m usually successful and if I’m not I say excuse me and move on.

I let it rip. You will sit in my farts on the next flight.

Why? For doing something harmless and natural that you also do?

Is this for real? As much as I fly, I never knew there was a connection between altititude and gas. Also, so we can call bs on all the people on the post claiming that they don't do it, right?
