Delta, KLM sued after family reports bedbugs on international flight
A Virginia family has filed a lawsuit against Delta Air Lines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines after claiming they were bitten by bedbugs during an international flight from Atlanta to Amsterdam. According to court documents, the family noticed insects crawling on their clothing just hours into the trip and later suffered painful bites that required medical treatment. The lawsuit alleges the infestation caused lasting physical and emotional distress, forced them to discard personal belongings, and disrupted their travel plans. Delta says it is reviewing the claims, while KLM has not publicly commented. The case is raising new questions about airline sanitation and passenger safety on long-haul flights.
