Woman complains her butt does not fit into plane seat – ‘bodies are changing planes should too!’
Gracie, a 26-year-old blogger with a curvaceous body, brought attention to a problem that many people have: airline seats. She vented her annoyance on Instagram about the difficulty curvaceous people experience in tight seats with tiny seatbelts. “It’s 2024,” she said, underscoring the need for new plane designs in light of modern bodies. Planes should adapt to bodies as they do.
Reactions to Gracie’s request for bigger chairs were not uniform. Her demand for more comfortable seats and seatbelts was backed by some, while others chastised her, advising her to purchase two seats or raising doubts about her surgical background.
Gracie, who has been open about having a stomach tuck, defended her decision by highlighting her commitment to take good care of her body. Despite the disagreement, many people with comparable situations found her message to be meaningful.
The widely shared video spurred an important conversation on airline diversity and the necessity for carriers to take a variety of body types into account when assigning seats.
