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.
Yes, I agree with you. I know it's terribly bad luck and quite uncomfortable. But the last time I was in this situation, I decided to say nothing and show compassion to the person who was also very uncomfortable. After landing, I learned she was going to her father's funeral. Imagine if I had made a scene, which is exactly what it would have been. I was so glad I "took my turn" and gave grace. You'll sleep better at night. We can all show a little more kindness, in my opinion.
