I'm sitting in the airport waiting on my flight to Vegas and one of the Frontier workers comes up and asks to speak to me. She proceeded to tell me that if a customer complains about sitting next me, I might have buy another ticket or make other arrangements for my flight. I'm literally sitting here about to burst into tears. This has never happened before. And it's meeting me dread my return flights home and even worry about being able to stay on this flight! I flew from Oklahoma to Denver with no problems so this just hit me like a ton of bricks.

HEARTBREAKING!!! Glad you a writing a letter and glad you have all of us who can relate! You will look fabulous soon enough then go find that woman and give her the finger...Okay, so I am immature, and would never do that but... would love to!

I am so sorry you had to deal with that. I had a bad experience last year. Normally, the flight attendant very discretely hands me a seat belt extender, and that is the end of it. I generally fly about once a year, and I have weighed the same, plus or minus ten pounds for a long time. (Haven't had the surgery yet) The woman at the Southwest gate came charging down the ramp into the plane. I was in the process of putting on my seat belt, and she kneeled on the seat in front of me, facing my husband and I. She said that I couldn't fit in the seat with the arm rest down. i said I could, wait and look. She said in a nasty voice, "Not comfortably!" I had just flown a week before on two planes with Southwest. My husband was sitting right next to me, so there wouldn't have been another customer complaining. She told me she had to put a seat between me and the other passenger, had a printed "reserved" ticket that I had to place between us, and told me that I was now in the computer as a passenger who requires two seats. She was not discreet. How humiliating! I am flying to Chicago next week on American. I hope there isn't another incident. I've never had that problem before.

I was traveling with my husband who had a stroke six month earlier, and has stage four cancer, so I didn't get her badge number.

Desert blue... I hope karma works in such a way that you are the recipient of something wonderful and unexpected when needed the most. Life is hard. Kindness is so easy. Best wishes to you.

Well, I have to agree with most on here. You should write a letter. #1 You were approached by an employee that had NO business to question you about how you were flying in my opinion. The person taking your ticket, the pilot and stewardesses should have been the only one concerned about you fitting in the seats. #2 Just because you work in an airport does NOT give you free reign to scrutinize people who YOU think are too fat, too short, too stupid, etc etc. Unless that is in your job description its not for you to comment on leave it up to the people who are on that particular flight.

For an employee of the airport to ASSUME its their duty to approach random people and critique their looks ---- ( if they're not an air marshal looking for terrorists lol ) The only thing they would get from me is the middle finger salute !
