“It was an experience that I hope nobody has to go through,” Marie Beals-Basinger told the Daily Mail of the flight that was diverted back to Atlanta on Friday, just two hours after its eight-hour journey to Barcelona, Spain.

John Hudt, who said he was also on the flight, described it as a “disaster.”
“The drivers made the right decision to go around” he tweeted.
He said that while the plane was on the ground, the crew “ripped out the carpet” and installed a new one.

The contaminated cabin was cleaned by staff, while the passengers of flight DL194 were transferred and arrived in Barcelona at 5:10 p.m. the next day.
Meanwhile, Beals-Basinger said she was in first class and therefore far from the disaster.
The FAA flight sheet, posted online, noted that it had to be diverted back to Atlanta after a passenger had diarrhea.
“We saw Delta crew assistants running around wearing protective covers or gloves,” Beals-Basinger told the Mail.
“They told us we would have to get off the flight because they had to do a deep cleaning and change the carpet.”
She said she and her husband were flying to Barcelona to take the Celebrity Reflection cruise.
“We were worried that we would miss the cruise,” he said. “We were sitting in the airport for hours, all very exhausted. They finally allowed us to get back on the plane.”
“Delta was very accommodating and provided us with continuous updates,” he said.
Fortunately, Beals-Basinger said, the cruise ship was still waiting for them at the dock “even though we were about three hours late.”
