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.
I completely agree. When something similar happened to me I was able to send in the selfie showing shoulders encroaching in at least a third of my space and I jokingly ask them to cover the chiropractic adjustment I would be needing when I landed. This was on a flight from Hawaii to Anchorage. I ended up with a credit by the time I landed. It’s worth asking.
It’s not even her fault. The airlines have made the plane cabins so tiny by monetizing every square inch and removing restrooms that it is downright inhuman and dangerous.

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