A model who’s called for planes to have bigger seats has been forced to hit back at cruel trolls. 

Gracie Bon, from Panama, is an Instagram star with almost seven million followers.

She posts fashion, lifestyle, and travel content on her social media page and has become well-known for her good looks.

She’s previously gone viral for sharing her unrecognizable before photos.

But the influencer has now found herself at the forefront of criticism after calling out planes for their seat sizes.

Whether larger people should pay for an extra plane seat has always divided opinion.

Plus-size travel influencer Jaelynn Chaney recently made headlines after saying that airline policies are ‘discriminatory’ towards bigger passengers.

She argues it’s unfair that plus-sized people have to pay more than those who are slimmer.

Chaney said: “Being forced to occupy only one seat can result in pain and vulnerability to poor treatment from fellow passengers, including hateful comments, disapproving looks, and even refusal to sit next to them.

“This mistreatment of plus-size passengers is unacceptable, and it highlights the urgent need for better policies that protect the dignity and rights of all passengers, regardless of size.

“Unfortunately, plus-size passengers often experience discomfort and discrimination when flying. The lack of a uniform customer-of-size airline policy is unacceptable and must be addressed.”

Bon said: “So today I had a flight and even if I was flying in first class, I couldn’t fit on the airplane – so this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me can fly.

“It’s not my fault I have an a*** this big. Please just make them bigger.”
