   Enjoying the luxury of business class seats on an 11-hour flight   
   back to Auckland was meant to be a treat for Renell and Tere   
   after undergoing weight-loss surgery in the city of Bangkok.   
      
   Instead, the sisters and their mother, Huhana, were left   
   ''traumatised'' by Thai Airways staff who came at them with tape   
   measures telling them they were ''too big'' for their business   
   class seats.   
      
   Six months on from that ''disgusting'' experience and Huhana,   
   59, is still bitter about the experience.   
      
   ''The staff were shouting 'too big, too big' at us repeatedly.   
   Rows of people watched as they measured us at the check-in. It   
   was so humiliating the way we were treated that I just broke   
   down in tears,'' said Huhana.   
      
   The language barrier didn't help as staff refused to let them   
   enter the business class section and made them sit in economy   
   class.   
      
   Huhana, a social worker, says she won't fly again until she   
   loses weight, to avoid the sort of traumatic experience Thai   
   Airways put her and her daughters through.   
      
   "We were really looking forward to flying on business class and   
   instead we were left traumatised,'' she added.   
      
   Most airlines can provide seatbelt extensions for oversized   
   passengers.   
      
   But Thai Airways said its business class seatbelts are fitted   
   with built-in air bags which means they can't be extended. The   
   family are still confused by this explanation.   
      
   You obese cunts are too fucking fat!
