Sydney Watson, a passenger, tweeted last week about her discomfort with the seating on her American Airlines flight. Watson griped about being “wedged” in the middle seat between two obese people.

She stated that the “huge” travellers were “too fat to be on a plane.” She asserted that she was “sweated on” and “touched without her consent” during the three-hour journey.She asked American Airlines for “repatriations,” and the airline first replied to one of her tweets by saying, “Our passengers come in all various shapes and sizes. We apologize if your flight was uncomfortable for you.
However, it appears that she has now actually received the “repatriations” she requested. Watson uploaded a letter she got from the airline, offering her a $150 credit, according to Lad Bible. In the letter, it is stated that “I truly regret the enjoyment and comfort of your flight AA was compromised due to another client exceeding their seat’s space.”

In a following harsh tweet, Watson continued to criticize the passengers she was sitting next to and stated: “I’d rather take the $150 American Airlines offered me as a refund and give it to someone who needs a PT or a gym membership.” However, she did not specify whether she would be accepting the compensation offer.
