- Thick fog drenched passengers on a recent flight to New York
- Despite the alarming images, this happens quite frequently on airplanes.
Passengers aboard a New York-bound flight were left cold and wet after air vents released a thick fog of liquid.
Savannah Gowarty published a video to TikTok showing viewers a first-hand look at the plane’s humid interior.
‘What is this?’ he says, her hair and face visibly wet. ‘Four hour flight. So cold.’
In an effort to mitigate the awkward situation, Gowarty removed his soaked white collared shirt and placed it on the armrest in hopes of letting it air dry.
Gowarty did not reveal which airline he flew on, but the saga he experienced aboard the four-hour flight is not as unusual as it might seem.
Thick fog drenched passengers on a recent New York-bound flight as liquid billowed from the air vents.
A similar incident occurred on a flight last July from Nice, France to London.
The flight, operated by British low-cost airline EasyJet, had the same type of dense fog that Gowarty and Newsweek complained about. reported.
But an EasyJet spokesperson eased potential travellers’ concerns, saying the fog is simply the result of condensation and “this is completely safe.”
“On board aircraft it is sometimes possible to see the air conditioning system cooling and condensing hot air from outside, which is what passengers could see on this flight from Nice to Gatwick,” the spokesperson said.
‘We can confirm that this is completely safe for everyone on board. “The safety of our passengers and crew is our top priority.”
A viewer who saw Gowarty’s clip also commented that the phenomenon is very common.
‘It’s just the condensation of outside heat and cold air on the plane!! It’s totally normal, especially in summer or when it’s hot!’ the person wrote.

Another commenter backed up this claim, saying that condensation like this “happens often” on flights in the southern United States, where it can be quite hot outside.
Still, the vast majority of people who interacted with Gowarty’s video shared their outrage and said they would demand compensation if they were in his shoes.
La Roche Posay, a French skincare brand, also commented on the viral video, taking a more glass-half-full approach.
“Four hours of flying plus a free misty refresher for damp skin,” the company wrote, to which Gowarty responded, “That’s one way to look at it!”
