A right-wing commentator who moaned about being "sandwiched between two obese people" on an American Airlines flight last week has now been given £130 compensation by the airline. Dr Sydney Watson, an Australian-American woman, ranted about the seating arrangement on her three-hour flight on Twitter when she said she was "literally wedged" between the two passengers.
And although American Airlines initially hit back at her cruel comments by insisting their passengers "come in all different shapes and sizes", Watson has now revealed she has been offered $150 (£130) in Trip Credits by the airline which can be used on any flight in the next 12 months.
