Airlines are being urged to reconsider their rules for plus-sized passengers after a shocking snap of a traveller on a flight went viral on the internet.

The group called Pretty Ricky from Miami in Florida, took their accounts on Facebook to share the controversial picture of the man as he tried to get into the aisle seat on a flight from Helsinki to Copenhagen in the past year.

The picture was originally shared by a man from Washington, DC named Christopher Elliot, who took to his account on Facebook to speak about how hard it was for the individual to board the flight.

He says that this was the sole responsibility of the airlines to do something and have the right things in place so they could accommodate anyone and everyone.

They wrote how airlines needed to do something or have a certain policy for bigger passengers when flying. The picture was taken recently in a flight showing how hard it was for the people who were bigger than one seat.

‘It’s even harder for those seated next to them. It’s a tough situation to be in because the airline will need to think of a happy medium’- the post read.
