Plus-size Passenger Divides Social Media After Refusing To Give The Extra Seat She Paid For To A Toddler

The 34-year-old woman, who is on the heavier side, had booked two seats for herself. She did this because she's had trouble fitting into just one seat before. But then, during the flight, a mom asked her to "squeeze into one seat" so her young son could use the other.

The woman didn't shy away from talking about her weight and shared details about the incident.

She pointed out that the toddler, only 18 months old, didn't actually need his own seat and could have just sat on his mom's lap.

Other people on the flight saw what was happening.

The woman said she got "dirty looks" and heard "passive-aggressive remarks" from others during the trip.

People have had different reactions to this situation. Some criticized the young mom and the flight attendant for not being more organized and for feeling entitled. Others thought the plus-size woman was at fault for making the flight less comfortable for everyone else.

But many backed the woman's choice to keep both seats. They argue that if you book and pay for an extra seat, you shouldn't have to give it up. They believe that passengers shouldn't be forced to let go of seats they've paid for.

This incident brings up the issue of how to make sure everyone on a flight is comfortable and treated fairly, especially when some passengers need extra accommodation. What's your take on this? Who do you think was in the wrong here? Share your thoughts in the comments.
