An overweight tourist was removed from a Thai Lion Air flight departing from Bangkok after demanding an emergency aisle seat due to his size. The passenger, wearing an orange Garfield shirt, caused a delay by refusing to cooperate when flight attendants denied his request to move to the emergency exit seat for more legroom. Police were called to remove him from the Boeing 737 aircraft after he lay down and blocked the aisle. The flight eventually departed an hour late. The incident has sparked discussions on weight-based pricing in airlines, with some advocating for charges based on individual weight to reduce fuel consumption. (Dailymail)
