I already submitted a negative review onboard the aircraft, but I doubt that it was ever passed on or considered.I flew on flight A47018 on August 2nd at 12:00.Let me begin by saying that I specifically paid for a seat selection and completed online check-in, all to ensure a more comfortable flight.I took my window seat hoping to get some rest during the flight. However, shortly after, a woman and her male companion sat next to me — and the woman was wearing an extremely strong, cheap, and unpleasant perfume.To this day, I don’t understand why there’s no policy banning the use of perfumes or other strong scents, while smoking and vaping are prohibited. Using overpowering fragrances is, at the very least, disrespectful to others.At first, I tried to offer a few compromises to the woman.First, I suggested she switch seats with her partner. She refused.Then I asked if she could wipe off the perfume with wet wipes or water — to which she replied, “I have an allergy,” which was clearly a lie.I called a flight attendant to help resolve the situation, because the smell was unbearable. I developed a headache, felt extremely nauseous, and even experienced blurred vision.Their solution? Move me to a middle seat at the back of the plane — even though I had booked and paid for a window seat.No one even attempted to speak with the woman, despite her being the one causing discomfort to those around her.I was dissatisfied with this solution and asked for another option, but was refused.I don’t know if there were free seats available in business class — but on other airlines, I’ve been offered such accommodations in similar situations. Not here, though. Here, your comfort seems to mean absolutely nothing.Or maybe the lack of help had something to do with my nationality.Again — I did not cause a scene, I didn’t yell or demand anything. I simply asked for help resolving the issue.Special mention should also be made about the food.The “sandwich” offered was essentially just a piece of bread with either ham or cheese — with no sauce or any other ingredients.In summary, if you want an airline that doesn’t care about your comfort, fly with Georgian Airlines.
