LONDON — He’s been turned down by planes, trains and even a cruise ship in his quest to return home – and his family says it’s because he has been deemed too fat to travel.

Now Frenchman Kevin Chenais’ long and fitful journey is coming to an end.

Chenais, who weighs 500 pounds, says he has been repeatedly refused transport over the past two weeks as he sought to get home to France from the United States. P&O Ferries offered to take him in his ambulance aboard the Spirit of Britain on Wednesday, the final hurdle keeping him from his home.

“I am absolutely tired,” the 22-year-old said as he slumped over in his mobility scooter before being loaded into the ambulance.

Chenais’ mother was outraged by the treatment her son allegedly received, saying he was discriminated against because of his weight.

“It’s not the fault of my son to be big. He has a genetic illness,” Christina Chenais said. “We are very happy to go home after this long, distressing and traumatic situation.”

The odyssey began when British Airways refused to honor his return ticket from the U.S., where he spent months receiving medical care for a hormone imbalance.

“When we talked about this problem with British Airways that Kevin was too fat … (they said) abandon any intention of coming back to France,” his father, Rene, told RTL Radio.

BA admitted that it refused to let Chenais board the plane, and cited confidentiality rules.

Chenais said Carnival Cruises also rejected his request for a cabin on a trans-Atlantic voyage.

Virgin Atlantic airlines stepped in to fly him to London, where he had planned to take the Eurostar train home. But Eurostar refused to allow him on board because of safety rules governing travel through the Channel Tunnel

Eurostar paid for the family’s hotel room and worked with P&O to find a solution.

The ferry company took Chenais and his family across the English Channel to Calais on Wednesday, one of the last obstacles to his homecoming in the town of Ferney-Voltaire.
