A plus size passenger has gone viral on TikTok slamming Ryanair for the size of its seats and aisle – leaving social media users divided.

Kirsty Leanne, 29, from Shropshire, recently shared a video of her experience on the budget airline, where she was given a middle aisle seat but was forced to ask for a seatbelt extender.

She also claims to have struggled to fit in the plane's narrow aisle.

Kirsty claims she was travelling with Ryanair from London Stansted to Hamburg on 21 April 2022 for a conference and returned on 26 April 2022.

However, the flights didn't go as well as she had wished.

"The first issue I faced was walking down the plane aisle, I was one of the last people on the plane as I was running a little late so I felt the stares of people and all I could think was that they didn't want me to sit next to them," Kirsty told Jam Press.

"I got to my seat and thankfully the one next to it was empty, giving me a little more room.

"In terms of legroom, there wasn't much space but this is also because I had an under seat bag, it was definitely manageable though.

"I was going to use the tray table to do some work on the way but when I couldn't put it down, I quickly decided that it was not going to happen.

"The bathroom was another issue I faced, as I was running late I didn't get to use the bathroom before I boarded so I thought I'd chance using the one on the flight but unfortunately, it's probably one of the smallest bathrooms I've ever seen and I decided against trying to squeeze in.

"In terms of the seats, I was comfortable but I think it's because the seat next to me was empty and I had that little bit of extra space.

"I needed to use a seatbelt extender but this is something I am used to and the flight attendant handed it me discreetly as I asked when I boarded."

The blogger first hit the headlines a few months ago when she was allegedly told to buy two seats for herself due to her body size.

In the TikTok, Kirsty can be seen showing her computer screen where she has been put in a middle aisle seat and how little room she has on the day, as well as sharing a snap of the seatbelt extender – captioning the clip "Flying Ryanair with no upgrades."

The video has been viewed more than one million times and racked up over 4,700 likes so far, but users are divided on the issue.

Some people insist Kirsty deserves to fly comfortably, while others feel she only has herself to blame.

One person commented: “What is everyone's problem? she's not hurting anyone, just showing her struggle with travel and how people in the same position can make it work!"

“Why are the comments so rude? She never said she was blaming the airline she is just showing you her experience travelling. Do you girl love the video,” another user said.

Someone else added: “People saying that it's so easy to just lose weight. Some people have diseases and metabolism issues and it would be difficult for them to do so though.”

“Ppl acting like being plus size is a choice/something to be ashamed of?,” one person added.

However, critics argued that airplanes shouldn’t have to accommodate her.

One user said: “Acting like it's their fault.”

“This should be a massive wake up call,” another person argued.

Someone else said: “Honey it's not the airlines fault.”

“There's only one person to blame” added another user.

The blogger also shares her adventures on her travel blog, Plus Size Travel Too, where she talks about travelling as a plus size person and says the experience is less than comfortable for larger people.

Jam Press has contacted Ryanair for comment.
