Famous model Gracie Bon – known for her striking hourglass figure – recently shared a hilarious yet frustrating experience while traveling by plane, which ultimately pushed her to… buy her own private jet.
In a recent interview, when asked about the most embarrassing incident she had on a flight, Gracie didn’t hesitate to reveal a story that sounded almost unbelievable: she once purchased two seats on a flight from Panama to Madrid – not to show off, but simply because of her oversized curves.

“There were no business class seats on that flight, so I had to book two economy seats just to sit comfortably,” Gracie explained.

However, when she boarded the plane, she found out that the second seat – which she had paid for in full – had been assigned to another passenger.

When she showed both tickets to the flight attendant, the response was dismissive at best, with just a half-hearted apology: “We can offer you two other seats… but they’re not next to each other.”

Some passengers recognized her and tried to help, saying, “Oh, she needs two seats!” – trying to clarify the situation.

But the crew member in charge appeared unwilling to assist. “They were really smart – selling two tickets for the same seat,” Gracie remarked sarcastically.

In the end, she had to sit next to a stranger who looked visibly uncomfortable. Even though it wasn’t her fault, Gracie still felt the need to apologize, and the entire ordeal became a turning point for her.

“It was a big deal for me. I don’t want to travel feeling cramped and mistreated again. So I decided to just buy a private jet – at least I’ll know for sure I have room to breathe.”

The Internet exploded with reactions:

What started as a minor mishap ended up becoming a lifestyle upgrade. Once again, Gracie Bon proves she doesn’t just break beauty standards – she redefines how to deal with discomfort, in first-class style.
