Philip Schotte, a passenger from the Netherlands who was on the flight, told Fox 2 Detroit that he witnessed the maggots fall on a passenger from a suitcase in the overhead compartment.
Flight attendants were then able to locate the source of the maggots: A suitcase that contained a rotten fish inside, according to reports.
Travelers who were delayed overnight because of the incident were compensated with hotel accommodation, a $30 meal ticket, and 8,000 air miles, the passenger told the Daily Mail.
