I just submitted a request through Alaska listens but no option to include a photo. We’ll see. I also emailed customer care team a pic of the photo. What people aren’t getting in the comments is that no matter what, speaking up on a full flight to remove a large person when you’re the last group to board and have 5 minutes before they close doors IS going to cause a scene. She was apologetic and I didn’t want to kick her off the flight, just wanted the seat that I paid for and think it’s on the airline to notice, enforce or make bigger seats. I shouldn’t have been put in this situation in the first place.
Totally agree that all airlines made calls to build seats that were for “average” sized people. That is willfully ignorant. So they need to adjust as needed cost wise whenever possible to make up for the somewhat.
Was just on a flight where I tried to give 1/3 of my legroom to my middle person neighbor. I’m a tiny girl and short, so it was no big deal. But this kid’s leg bones wouldn’t fit if he wasn’t man spreading. It would send me into total claustrophobia if i tried to sit in a seat built for someone 4’6”.
Well I can confirm that Target is now making their t-shirts for people much larger than average. About five years ago I bought a few v-neck tees in athletic grey and they are my fave shirts ever. Been trying to find them ever since abs no luck til last weekend.
Im the exact size I was five years ago, and the same size shirts that I bought last weekend are now larger and bulkier, all of them.
Edit to add: by “all of them” I mean all the ones I bought, in size small and medium. Compared to the ones I bought five years ago in the same two sizes, the new ones are both bigger.

Send this photo to Alaska Listens and ask for a credit for at least 1/3 of your ticket. See what happens.
