Jordan Hamilton is 19 and suffers from Klinefelters Syndrome, which means that his limbs grow abnormally large. As a result he's nearly 7' tall. Ryanair charged him for extra legroom on one of their flights recently - was this fair? He is registered disabled and also has learning difficulties.
Jordan says that Easyjet do not charge him extra.
I know this debate about charging for extra space in aircraft, has arisen before, but usually it is regarding very overweight individuals who take up nearly two seats.

“The 19-year-old, his mother Dianah, 54, and sisters Samantha, 32, and Jenny, 33, are hoping to fly from Belfast to Malaga in Spain for two days next Thursday to celebrate Jenny's birthday.
Normally, the family from Belfast fly with easyJet, who are happy to oblige and let Jordan sit in the front row free of charge, Jenny said.
But when she phoned Ryanair and explained her brother needs to sit at the front to accommodate his legs, the airline insisted he pay £15 each way for the privilege.
A Ryanair spokesman said: 'While we regret any inconvenience caused, for safety reasons Ryanair does not permit the carriage of customers who require special assistance to sit in our emergency exit rows.'”
