Do they have the right to travel comfortably for free or should they pay for two seats? 🤯✈️ 

Model and influencer Emily Jones has previously sparked a full-blown war on the internet. She claimed that flying is a degrading nightmare for plus-size people and demanded that the aviation industry modify all its planes to adapt to their bodies. 

However, her request for “inclusion” enraged thousands of travelers, who showed no mercy and left her with a clear message: “Your weight is not the airline’s problem; if you take up the space of two seats, open your wallet and pay for two tickets”.

“It’s extremely selfish to crush the person next to you just because you don’t want to pay extra”, reads one of the most supported comments. 

According to the influencer, the stress and humiliation they suffer when trying to fit into standard seats 43 centimeters wide is unacceptable.

Several experts pointed out that if airlines gave in to Emily’s demands and installed larger seats, the plane’s total capacity would be drastically reduced. And the result would be that the price of absolutely all plane tickets would suddenly go up.

Whose side are you on?
