WE WON. 💜
Southwest Airlines is walking back their controversial Customer of Size policy. After months of backlash from the plus-size community, word is spreading that they're bringing back the free extra seat at the gate — no forced pre-purchase required.
This is what happens when we refuse to stay quiet.
The body positivity movement spoke up. Loudly. And a major airline blinked.
You deserve to travel with dignity. You deserve to take up space — on planes, in rooms, in this world. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.
Keep speaking up. It works. 💜
Airline says extra seats may be provided at no cost when available.
