Imagine boarding a flight, having paid for an extra seat to ensure a comfortable journey, only to be confronted by another passenger demanding you give it up for their toddler. This is exactly what happened to a 34-year-old woman who, due to her obesity, booked an additional seat for a cross-country trip to visit her brother and his husband for Christmas. Little did she know that her decision would spark a heated conflict with a fellow passenger.
