When boarding a plane to travel, we can only hope that the flight is safe, smooth, comfortable and without drama. But time and again, there are stories making headlines about sagas in the sky. One of the issues that crops up is how airlines, and fellow flyers, are or aren’t accommodating plus-size passengers.
One person shared how they requested to swap seats with an “extremely obese” neighbor passenger, to prevent being squashed against the window. What should have been a courteous exchange of words, and possibly seats, turned into a full-blown dramatic embarrassment for both flyers and ended with one of them being asked to leave the plane. The passenger turned to the internet after their formal complaint to the airline fell on deaf ears.
