EasyJet has faced backlash after a passenger was filmed struggling to fit in his plane seat due to his height. The video shows the man, who is roughly 6 ft 5 inches, having difficulty fitting into his chair due to the limited space, Birmingham Live reports.
He is then forced to stand for most of the flight, with viewers slamming the budget airline for not offering him one of the empty extra leg room seats. The clip, which has since went viral on Tik Tok, was shared with the caption: "This guy was about 6"5. His legs were clearly hurting him.
"There were two spare extra legroom seats at the front of the plane. He stood there for so long while they just looked at him and worked around him.
"Not one of them asked if he was okay the whole flight. He then struggled to get into a seat and sit comfortably, while one guy just watched him again.
"I asked the steward mid-flight if could they offer him the spare extra leg room seats and she told me no because they are upgrade seats only. I said I got that, but we had taken off and no one was sitting there, and she said no.
"I had to say something, I tried mid-flight and she wasn't having any of it.
"Even if he didn't want them, they could still have offered them to him. This was sad to watch. Funny thing is it cost £12 more for those seats, and when I looked online before these seats were sold out, so clearly someone didn't turn up."
