WOMAN GETS BODY-SHAMED AFTER ASKING FOR A SEAT BELT EXTENDER ON DELTA FLIGHT

In a viral video with more than 3 million views, @Samyra, who advocates for the inclusion of plus-size people in clothing and media, politely asked a flight attendant for a belt extender.

The flight attendant looked for one and seemed to struggle to locate it, but the whole time, Samyra waited patiently.

This is not the first time airlines, and specifically Delta, got called out for not having the necessary tools for a larger person to safely and comfortably fly.

Even if people wanted to bring their own extender on the plane to avoid the hassle, Delta does not permit this due to Federal Aviation Administration regulations.

Still unable to find the crucial safety item, the person told Samyra that they’ll bring the extender directly to her once they find it. Samyra thanked the person and took her seat. Once seated, she showed viewers just how short the standard belt is.

Samyra’s video has more than 4,400 comments, but many people made nasty comments about her body, while others criticized how she asked for the extender, saying she wasn’t polite. “Wait how did anyone find a problem in your delivery? This was literally the politest request ive heard all month,” a commenter said, defending her.
