Some airlines in the US can actually refuse a maladorous passenger provided that the bad odor is not caused by a medical condition.
However, there are still a few who do get away with it. Their body odor is probably not that strong but if you sit beside them, it is enough to make the whole flying time very uncomfortable for you.
What can you do?
(1) You can just grin and bear it;
(2) You can put vicks or perfume under your nose to overpower the foul smell;
(3) You can ask the purser to nicely ask the offending passenger to freshen up in the toilet;
or...
You can buy an Ultra-Mini Personal Air Purifier.
"Employing revolutionary plasma technology, solid platinum emitters and gold-plated stainless steel collectors destroy airborne pollutants, allergens, and viruses while propelling clean, fresh air into your breathing space."
It's $129 but if you travel often enough, it definitely would be worth it.
