Airline has surprising response after passenger complains about being 'wedged between two obese people' on flight

A woman was left fuming by an airline's reply after she claimed she was "wedged between two obese people" while on a flight.

Sydney Watson, a right-wing commentator, was taking an American Airlines flight but was left unhappy for her seating situation.

Though after she complained to the airline, she didn't get too much sympathy.

The bizarre situation took place on a three hour flight, and began when Watson wrote on Twitter, alongside photos of her eating situation: "I am currently - literally - wedged between two obese people on my flight."

"This is absolutely NOT acceptable or okay. If fat people want to be fat, fine.

"But it is something else entirely when I'm stuck between you, with your arm rolls on my body, for 3 hours."

Attached to the tweet were pictures of her travel companions arms on either side of her body, the Mirror UK report.

But American Airlines were less than impressed with Sydney's complaints, responding to her: "Our passengers come in all different shapes and sizes. We're sorry you were uncomfortable on your flight."

Unsurprisingly, this didn't go down well with the right-wing journalist, who fumed in response: "This is really their official reply to me being sandwiched between two obese humans.

"I just experienced getting sweat on, touched without my consent, smacked in the face and subjected to hours of no personal space.

"And your response is essentially 'too bad'? Is that what I'm getting here?"

She added: "I don't care if this is mean. My entire body is currently being touched against my wishes. I can't even put the arm rests down on either side because there's no f***ing room.

"I'm sick of acting like fatness to this extent is normal. Let me assure you, it is not.

"If you need a seat belt extender, you are TOO FAT TO BE ON A PLANE,

"Buy two seats or don't fly."
