A plus-sized model has taken to social media to slam Delta Air Lines after she was unable to fasten her seatbelt during a recent flight.
Taking to TikTok, Remi Bader shared her struggles with followers after she was left struggling to buckle her seatbelt during take-off on a Delta, an American airline flight.
A viral video shared by Remi shows the model in her plane seat, apparently unable to fit the belt around herself, reports the Mirror.
Addressing the airline directly, Remi urged them to “figure it out”, arguing that she “shouldn’t need to ask for an extender. It should just be easy!”.

A number of Remi’s followers sympathised with her plight, sharing similar negative air travel experiences, while remarking that all passengers should be allowed to fly safely, regardless of their size.
One person wrote: “I was too embarrassed to ask last time so I pretended to be buckled and just decided if we hit turbulence so be it”.
Another said: “This is exactly why I have a fear of flying. In 2016, the belt just closed. I have no hope now and refuse to be belittled by the crew”.
A third person claimed: “I was asked to move from the exit row once because I needed an extender. Apparently, an extender means you’re unable to open the exit door”.
This isn’t the first time Remi has spoken out about her experiences using seatbelts while flying.
In a separate TikTok video shared back in October, Remi opened up about how she was left “freaking out” after she was unable to fasten her seatbelt during a Delta flight.
Remi, who has “always loved Delta”, claimed that the airline’s new planes “have way shorter seatbelts than they did before”, alleging that the belt just wouldn’t go around her…
