Delta reportedly pulled a passenger from first class because of a plus-size woman with an emotional support dog

A passenger sitting in first class on a Delta flight to Detroit was unfortunately unable to experience the luxury he paid extra for after a woman boarded the plane with her emotional service dog and four carry-on bags.

The passenger was placed in a seat on the bus with extra legroom to accommodate the woman, her dog and her belongings.

Delta reportedly moved a passenger out of first class to accommodate the woman, her dog and her four carry-on bags.

According to View From The Wing, a blog with the latest flight news and stories, a passenger was allegedly moved out of first class on an early morning flight to make room for a plus-size woman, her dog and her four carry-on bags. on bags.

A fellow passenger took a photo of the woman and her dog standing at the gate before boarding.

Once she boarded the Bombardier CR-9 Regional Jet, she discovered she couldn’t fit into her first class seat 2A. Plus, her dog didn’t fit under her seat.

Flight attendants had no choice but to make some adjustments in first class to accommodate the woman, her dog and her carry-on luggage – but not everyone agreed with the decision they ultimately made.

A first-class passenger was ‘involuntarily demoted’ to a Comfort Plus seat in a coach with extra legroom.

According to the blog post, when the woman realized she couldn’t fit in her seat, “the flight attendant on this Delta Connection trip allowed her to move across the aisle to sit in 2C, and for her dog to take 2D “, despite other passengers having booked and paid for these seats.

The passenger originally seated in 2C was moved to the women’s seat, 2A, the passenger originally seated in 2D was bumped to 1C and the passenger originally seated in 1C was told there was no room left for him in first class.

Despite the chaos, the flight reportedly took off 10 minutes early and landed in Detroit 20 minutes before its scheduled arrival time.

It is not known whether the passengers who were rearranged, especially those transferred to a coach, were ever reimbursed.

The incident raises many questions about Delta’s policy.

First, when passengers with animals travel on Delta, other than registered service animals, which they were not, they are only allowed one carry-on bag – not four. The pet must be in a kennel that fits under the seat.

If a cabin class is oversold, passengers can usually be downgraded to another section and reimbursed for the inconvenience.

While no rules require plus-size passengers to purchase additional seats or seats that can fit themselves and their carry-on luggage, doing so may be best for their comfort and that of their fellow passengers. There should be no need to play musical chairs before takeoff.

One way airlines can solve this problem is by offering larger seats with more space for passengers. Although of course for airlines it’s all about the bottom line, and bigger seats mean fewer seats, which translates into less money.
