An hour into a Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, the plane had to turn around after maggots reportedly fell from an overhead cabin onto economy passengers. 

Delta Flight DL133 returned to Schiphol Tuesday "after a suitcase containing rotten fish in the overhead bin broke open and maggots began to fall on the unsuspecting passengers," the Daily Mail reported.

Once the airplane landed, passengers exited, the cabin was cleaned and the suitcase involved was put in a bag to be burned.

One of the flight's passengers told the Daily Mail that Delta staff identified the owner of the rotting suitcase and detained them on the plane after all other passengers disembarked.

The passenger, named Kelce, said those inconvenienced were given 8,000 air miles, hotel room compensation and a $30 meal ticket if they were delayed overnight from continuing their travels.
