Woman sues easyJet after being told to move seats due to ultra-Orthodox Jewish men
Melanie Wolfson was asked to move twice on flights between Tel Aviv and London because of complaints about her gender
A British-Israeli woman is suing easyJet after the low-cost airline asked her to move seats on a flight from Tel Aviv to London following objections from ultra-Orthodox Jewish men who refused to sit next to a female passenger.
Melanie Wolfson, 38, is demanding 66,438 shekels (almost £15,000) compensation in a lawsuit filed on her behalf by the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), which won a similar case in 2017 brought against El Al, the Israeli national carrier.
