Video Reveals Dragging of Plus-Size Passenger by Officers After Seat Request Denied

A recent flight incident involved a disruptive passenger who was forcibly removed from an international flight after demanding a larger seat. Cellphone footage captured the chaotic scene aboard a Thai Air Lion flight that departed Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok on June 25. The video featured a plus-size traveler clad in a bright orange Garfield shirt and green shorts, creating a stir as he pleaded for a reassignment to an exit row for extra legroom. When his request was rejected by the flight attendants, he erupted in a fit of rage. His antics included lying on the aisle floor and filming the crew as they tried to manage the situation. Police intervention became necessary after the passenger refused to exit voluntarily, resulting in him being dragged off the aircraft. “Selfish” remarks were overheard from fellow travelers, reflecting their frustration over the hour-long flight delay. It remains unclear whether authorities arrested him.
