A woman has been branded as 'fat phobic' for moving plane seats after being "sandwiched" between two plus-sized passengers. The 19-year-old explained how she was assigned the middle seat on her flight from Las Vegas to New York, a five hour journey.
But after an hour, she asked a flight attendant if she could move as her seat neighbours' shoulders and thighs were 'on top of hers' on either side. Taking to Reddit, she said: "Both people next to me were plus sized. I wouldn't have any problem with this in any other situation, but plane seats are terribly small and neither of my neighbours were able to fit comfortably into their seats.
"I walked up to the flight attendant and explained the situation as privately and gently as I could, and I asked if there were any other seats available. She managed to find a seat a few rows behind mine that I could sit in."
