Lindsay McGlone, who is a plus-size model, responded to trolls who told her to pay for two seats on an airplane.
She posted a video of herself boarding a plane with her partner, Tommy, to show that people who are obese deserve to travel.
In the video, she can be seen asking the cabin crew to provide a seatbelt extension.
The clip has been viewed almost a million times and received thousands of likes.
While some of her fans commended her for addressing the issue of plus-size passengers, others said she should have paid for an additional seat.
The British traveler said she wanted to show people that being overweight isn’t an issue and that they can travel as long as they’re respectful of others.
She also noted that people who don’t agree with her body type might make fatphobic or derogatory comments.
She didn’t expect the video to go viral as quickly as it did. She said she received messages from people who praised her and thanked her for addressing the issue of plus-size passengers.
One of them said that they were glad to see the video because it made them feel better.
She noted that she would have preferred to have two seats, but she accepts that she needs to fit in one.
She also said that she doesn’t like to engage in arguments online, and she doesn’t blame the trolls for their behavior.
