Erika, a self-professed frequent flyer, was allegedly subjected to size discrimination by a Southwest gate agent, who tried to force the Nebraskan to purchase an extra seat due to her full figure ahead of a recent flight to Las Vegas.
“The agent said something like, ‘Are you interested in extra room?’” Erika, a hairdresser, recalled in a viral vid with over 1.1 million views. “And I go, ‘Wait, do you mean like an extra seat?’ And she goes, ‘Yeah.’ And I go, ‘Oh no, I don’t need an extra seat.’”
