Mar 26, 2017 at 1:32 comment added WBT @MadHatter If you're changing to a connecting flight, people on the shorter journey don't necessarily come from the intercontinental flight; most will be making shorter trips. The question explicitly mentioned connecting flights in the example.
Mar 25, 2017 at 19:12 comment added one sweaty mf Rather than sweat (or sebum) per se, it's the products of its bacterial breakdown that reek so bad. Here's what works wonders for me: before setting out, I make sure those bodily parts which tend to get sweaty and stinky are shaved clean and thoroughly treated with antibacterial gel (sanitizer). It sure takes those microbes a while to reclaim their territory :)

Mar 24, 2017 at 13:48 comment added Robert Columbia I've taken a few overnight train trips in coach. I'm sure nobody there smelled so great in the morning.

Mar 24, 2017 at 12:59 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit Some chewing gum and a paper towel over your face should be enough. Optionally add deodorant if you have overactive sweat glands. Seems like people are going a little overboard! Or perhaps there is a medical problem. You should be able to maintain a normal human scent over the course of a day.

Mar 24, 2017 at 11:24 comment added user56reinstatemonica8 Oh, there are so many times when this is an issue. For example, maybe you're somewhere hot/tropical/humid, your flight is at 23:30, and your hotel check out was at 10:30. Or maybe you're getting on the second of two or more connecting long-haul flights. Or maybe your journey to the airport involved 2+ hours stuck in traffic in midday sun in a vehicle with no effective air conditioning. Or maybe you're meeting someone at the destination airport who you don't want to repulse. Or maybe you just want the smug sanctification of being the only person on the plane who doesn't smell...

Mar 24, 2017 at 10:07 comment added MadHatter I'm not entirely sure you're the problem: everyone is in that basket after an intercontinental flight. The impression I got from the linked question is that it's more to do with people who systematically ignore personal odour issues. If you don't want to be that person, make sure you have a shower sometime in the 24 hours before a long flight, use some kind of antiperspirant / deodorant, and you'll likely be no worse an issue than anyone else on the flight.
