Zuckerberg said she was seated in first class on a three-hour Alaska Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Mazatlan on Wednesday. The man seated next to her started talking "about touching himself, kept asking me if I fantasised about the female business colleague I was travelling with, rated and commented on the women's bodies boarding the aircraft."
After she complained, however, flight attendants told her the man is a frequent flier, and that she shouldn't "take it personally."
She was offered a change of seat too, but decided later she shouldn't be the one having to move.
"I'm even more furious with Alaska Airlines for knowingly and willingly providing this man with a platform to harass women...[and] being more concerned with taking his money than for the safety and security of the other passengers around him," she wrote.
About an hour and a half after she tweeted her letter, which got nearly a thousand shares in the time, Zuckerberg posted an update saying Alaska Airlines has temporarily suspended the passenger's frequent traveller status, and are conducting an investigation.
