Not nearly as hard to put up with as the whales that take up two seats and therefore spill over into the adjacent seats.

actually that's a good opportunity to complain & get a 1st class seat (which is given when no other 2nd class seats are available)

But only liberals whine according to Annoyed

Maybe where you are, but not here.

then you can still complain & get a decent compen$ation instead (partial or even full refund)

conservatives can whine liberally (and they'll have the best opportunity before long)

Or, the airline's staff will look at you funny and ask how dare you shame that poor overweight person. It's not their fault they're size of two people.

Its what I say when senior citizens complain about....well old people complain in general

ah but arguing cleverly is crucial regardless of situation: why even mention the other person?
just say you are not comfortable & you don't have the space that you paid for and that you have good reason to sue them (the company I mean)
you capice?

also a good opportunity to start a new airline whose selling point would be extra wide seats for seating the morbidly obese comfortably with room to spare....you could even imagine the advert for it

"Welcome to the new FatboyAir, where you can fly in comfort without having to worry about complaints from those in better shape than you. Our seats are guaranteed to seat Michael Moore comfortably with room to spare or your money back!"

I can't blame them, United I mean. Have you seen what people check in as hand-luggage? Those little carry ons are nearly the size of my suitcase -- and they take up quite a lot of space in the overhead bins too.

It's only 25$ -- that isn't much.

True, some of those 'carry on's are the size of regular checked luggage.
BUT 25 bucks, just to use the overhead bin rather tha try and squeeze it under the seat? IMO that's a flat out rip off.
Heck, you might be able to fed-ex it for that cost..

IIRC some flights do make those people pay for 2 seats..

And that's EVEN with so damn many fitness programs, articles and gear being advertized... PEOPLE just eat tooooo much.. Its imo why 'all you can eat places' have sprouted up all over the place.

I think someone did try an airline that caters to fatties in the 80s and it went bust.

Ew... that's disgusting.

Plz, at least clean them before putting them back in, will you.

Don't they have to pay for those two seats?
I though they had to pay for both if they take up both.

Especially, since it's all about selling as many seats as can possibly fit inside any given type of airplane, cause while it's fast, being comfortable isn't a guarantee (long legs don't mix well with airplaine seats either).

Why can't I green you for this? Please turn it back on so I can at least green you for this.

While it's a contributing factor to a lot of heavy-weigths, some really can't help it (like our Minister of the Health Department --> she's a medical doctor too)

I was wondering when you would circle back around to overweight people on planes..

Do the one about the plane being too heavy to fly!
