No one particularly loves flying. Being stuck in an aluminium box for hours on end while tens of thousands of feet up in the air can be uncomfortable at the best of times. And don’t even get us started on the leg room.
But for 25-year-old Rumeysa Gelgi, who holds a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for her height, no leg room in the world has ever been able to accommodate her 7ft frame.
Until recently, that is, when an airplane removed six seats to enable Gelgi to take to the skies for the first time in her life.
