You’ve got to pity the guy sitting next to this oversized passenger.

The striking snap was taken by a shocked air hostess and posted on a US flying blog.

It’s unclear if the poor man snapped spilling out of his seat on an American Airlines flight was aware he was being photographed.

Flight Passenger

There have been suggestions the image was faked but writer Kieran Daly, who published the pic, was adamant it was real.

He said: “This is sent to me with the absolute assurance that it’s a genuine picture taken by a flight attendant at American Airlines.

“The Flight Attendant took it to show her manager what was happening on the aircraft and why she was unhappy about it. Seems the guy paid for only one seat and the gate staff let him board.”

American Airlines doesn’t charge obese passengers any more for their tickets but does ask people to “recognize ahead of time that they may need to purchase two seats”.

But the picture has caused such an outcry among passenger groups that the airline has said it will investigate the matter.

For the sake of everyone on board the flight let’s just hope it wasn’t a long one.
