The “absolutely gross” situation saw the Delta flight forced to make a U-turn about an hour into the nine-hour trip from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Passengers reported the back of the plane was left teeming with the larvae that it later emerged were emanating from a rotten fish.

“They were all sitting around in the crew area laughing and talking when we had been on the plane for close to three hours with not even water offered,” Kelsey said.

“We apologise to the customers of Flight 133 AMS-DTW as their trip was interrupted due to an improperly packed carry-on bag,” the airline told Sky News.
