A man says he was kicked off a Horizon Airlines flight in Portland last month because he was too tall.
Horizon Air spokeswoman admits the man was wrongly removed from the plane after a flight attendant asked the unidentified passenger to take his legs out of the aisle.
The man, who is 6 feet 9 inches tall, explained his legs did not fit, according to a post on the website, The Consumerist.
He was then told to get off the plane, which was flying from Portland to Ontario, Calif.
“What should have happened in this scenario is the flight attendants should have asked for passengers seated in an exit or bulkhead row to voluntarily give up their seats to provide the passenger with the much-needed leg room he requires,” said Marianne Lindsey, a spokeswoman for Alaska Air.
Lindsey said the airline apologized to the passenger and offered him the value of his ticket off a future flight, which he accepted.
