A 235kg man was forced to pay for two seats on an aircraft only to discover that they were two rows apart.
Les Price, 43, had to pay for the extra space when flying from the UK to Ireland and back because airline policy dictates that anyone over 127kg has to book the extra space.
But when he got to the airport the staff didn't seem to have any idea about the rules and on the journey home his seats were two rows apart.
He had already faced embarrassment on his flight out when he was allocated an aisle seat and a window seat, with another passenger in the middle.
"When I got to the airport I had to explain to all the staff why I had two tickets. They didn't have a clue. When I finally got on the plane, one was an aisle seat and the other was by the window - in a three-seat row. On the way back from Ireland one seat was in row 17 and the other in row 19."
