'I sat crowded (as if the middle isn't bad enough), with someone touching me and with their weight on me'
A woman was left furious after a nightmare plane journey where an overweight fellow passenger was "sitting on top of" her during the flight. The furious traveller took to Tripadvisor to complain - saying her rights had been "violated" by the seating arrangement.
Posting online, the woman said: "I think my rights were violated. Before I sat down, I mentioned the situation to the crew member who was helping the obese woman and asked if my husband and I could have the empty seats in first class. He told me not unless my name was on a list. Top news stories today She said: "The rep was short and rude with me. She kept insisting that as long as this woman could fit with an extension, it was fine. I asked the rep about the armrest and her sitting on top of me and the rep never really answered that question."
She added: "I have nothing against obese people. I actually sat on the flight praying because I had mean thoughts going through my head and I didn't like it. I am most angry at the airline because I pointed it out before I took my seat and they did nothing about it. I sat crowded , with someone touching me and with their weight on me.
"It is for the staff to resolve issues for all paying customers. It should not be for the customer to feel guilty about asking for what they have paid for - i.e. a seat!"
