Woman claims her 'rights were violated' after '35 stone passenger sat on top of her 'on flight

A woman was left furious after a nightmare plane journey where an overweight fellow passenger was "sitting on top of" her during the flight. The furious traveller took to Tripadvisor to complain - saying her rights had been "violated" by the seating arrangement.

The unnamed woman said she was on the plane next to another flyer, who she claimed weighed around 35 stone. Despite complaining to staff, she was told she wasn't allowed to move seats, reports Birmingham Live.

The woman said the seating was unfair as she could not put her armrest down throughout the flight, the other passenger took up "a good portion of her seat", and she couldn't get out her seat as her fellow flyer wasn't able to get up without help.
