Rumeysa Gelgi is the world’s tallest living woman. She is a computer programmer. She recently boarded a plane from her home country of Turkey to San Francisco. However, it wasn’t just any flight. It was Gelgi’s first.

Gelgi, 25, stands at 7 feet, 0.7 inches (215.16cm) tall. Her unusual height is a result of Weaver syndrome(韦弗综合征). She has won several Guinness World Records since her teens, and she still holds several records, including the longest fingers on a living person and the longest back on a living female person.

Gelgi usually travels to share her story. However, though she travelled to many places, she had never been on a plane before. For many people with Weaver syndrome, it’s nearly impossible to travel by plane. But in September, Gelgi finally took to the skies. A few weeks later, she shared photos from her trip aboard Turkish Airlines. Several seats on the plane were taken away, so Gelgi could rest comfortably on a stretcher(担架) during the 13-hour journey from Istanbul to California.

“A perfect journey from start to finish,” Gelgi said on the Internet, praising Turkish Airlines workers for their work. Gelgi said that although it was her first plane ride, “it certainly won’t be my last!” In her photos, Gelgi appears to get the VIP treatment, talking with a smiling worker on the plane and enjoying a first-class meal.
