Los Angeles - A fat woman who was told to buy an extra plane seat has had her harassment case thrown out by a Los Angeles court.
Ms Cynthia Luther, who according to court papers weighs more than 21 stone (136 kg) had sued the low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines after being asked to buy a second seat on a flight from Reno, Nevada, to Burbank, California, last May "so as not to inconvenience other passengers seated next to her".
