A 37-stone man forced to buy two plane tickets due to
his size was shocked to discover the airline had given him
two seats in different rows.
Les Price, from Brynithel, south Wales, wasn’t thrilled
when he was told by an unnamed airline he would have to
buy an extra ticket because he weighed more than 20
stone.
And things soon got even worse for the 43-year-old when
he discovered the seats he had purchased for a return trip
to Ireland were not located next to each other.
‘When I got to the airport I had to explain to all the staff
why I had two tickets,’ he said.
‘They didn’t have a clue. When I finally got on the plane
one was an aisle seat and the other was by the window –
in a three-seat row.
‘On the way back from Ireland one seat was in row 17
and the other in row 19.’
Mr Price has said he is trying to lose weight and is
attending an NHS weight management clinic.
