Plus-size influencer Jae-lynn Chaney slams ‘discriminatory’ airline seat policies
A plus-size travel influencer is demanding that airlines change their “discriminatory” policies that make larger flyers pay “twice for the same experience” — admitting that making such a change may make fares for everyone more expensive. “Demand for the FAA to Protect Plus-Sized Customers,” doubled down on being discriminated against while flying due to her size.
She added, “Implementing policies to accommodate plus-size passengers may come with associated costs, but these costs must be weighed against the benefits of creating a more welcoming and inclusive travel experience.” Lukacs noted, “It’s not as if someone is getting up in the morning and making a decision that they’re going to be a large person. So through that lens of human rights, I don’t see any justification for charging these people a double fare.”
Airplanes seats have gotten smaller over the past two decades, even as more people globally are larger than before.Another plus-size travel expert and content creator Kristy Leanne, who recently went viral after posting a video about the problems she and other plus-size people face on planes, has also received a barrage of negative comments for sharing her experiences.
