‘Stay at home’ cruel trolls constantly blast at me because I’m fat and love a holiday – it’s a nightmare on planes

PROUDLY “fat” influencer Jaelynn Chaney has revealed that trolls tell her to “stay at home” when she speaks about her travel struggles. 

The 25-year-old is a size 6XL and has built a significant following advocating for free aeroplane seats and wider hotel hallways for plus-size holidaymakers. 

But her social media activism has been met with streams of criticism, with Jaelynn now sharing that she’s often told to “stay at home” rather than travel. 

In a recent Instagram video, the influencer dived into a number of the issues she faces when going on holiday. 

Among these is deciding whether she needs to book a second seat when flying and being given “dirty looks” as soon as she gets on the plane. 

Jaelynn also checks if airlines have a “customer size policy” before booking a flight with them. 

In April last year, she claimed that she was left "bruised" after a domestic flight in the US due to having to squeeze her body into one seat. 

Due to her size, she’s not able to pull down aeroplane tray tables. 

“We’re plus-size travellers, of course people online tell us to stay home,” she penned on Instagram. 

“But we’re here to remind ourselves and our fellow fat travellers that everybody can explore the world.”

Jaelynn, from Vancouver, Canada, is “on a mission to revolutionise the travel industry” so that “fat people” can holiday comfortably. 

She regularly jets off to exotic locations across the globe and documents the struggles she encounters as a 6XL woman.

The influencer previously made headlines for urging hotels to make hallways more “spacious” to accommodate larger guests.

She said that it’s paramount that hotels advertise having wider hallways on their websites so “people of different body shapes” are aware before booking. 

Jaelynn claims that plus-size holidaymakers are discriminated against and deserve an extra seat or two for free to accommodate their bigger frames.
