Can skinny people sue airlines for not being able to sit in seats as well!
can us talls sue because we have **** for leg room
but but but, you have more control over your height than she does her weight.... or something like that.

It's not her fault she loaded up on junk food with her EBT card and does nothing but watch tv.

She could have an emotional support animal.

It blows my mind how many people are so codependent that they can't even go into a store without their dog. America is screwed

She's so fat she has an oxygen mask. And then she's wearing a real mask over that. I'm sorry, but if I walked up and that was sitting next to me, I would either change my flight or ask for another seat.

Of course I pretty much fly first class everywhere now.

Passengers should pay by a weight/volume metric to include luggage.
I think I read/heard somewhere that is actually being discussed by the airlines, not to discriminate against fat people, but as a safety thing because of weight.

Not as a safety thing but as a way to extract more margins from their customers.

True story: float plane operators that fly commercial routes charge like this.

She still wouldn't fit in a first class seat.

I hate what this world has become.


The way the seats have shrunk, maybe the rest of us should join it as a class action to get them to go back to 1980s sizes where your knees aren't up in your chest.
My thought is that its a safety concern. If she reserves an isle seat...whoever gets the window will be trapped in case of an emergency...

she's so fat that if she even tried to go in the lavatory, she'd commit a federal offense because her body wouldn't fit without tampering with the smoke detector.

Should have to buy the seats in front as well. No way the people in front can even 1/4 way lean their seat back.

Every time I fly, I always fear getting to my seat and seeing something like this.


I had a deposition in California from Atlanta (read: LONG FLIGHT) one time. Co-counsel and I were working on the way out so we got first class for more room to work.

I was happy about first class on the way back to have a few drinks and the extra room is always awesome. We got done a little early and co-counsel had little kids so he wanted to see if catch an earlier flight. I think they had some kind of event he was going to miss. I said fine.

Not only did his secretary not get the early flight, she somehow F'ed up the current flight so we lost first class. We also now weren't sitting together. I agreed to take the seat farther back so he could get to the event sooner.

I was in the very back of the plane, next to the window. The middle seat was open, and the aisle had another dude there. They were about to close the door and I hear the guy in the aisle seat say, "OH GOD NO! Please God No!"

A woman that looked like that waddled down the aisle. She reeked of B.O. and farted during the flight. Her fat rolls were spilling over and touching me the whole flight. The stewardess took pity on me and the other guy and gave us free drinks. I got drunk on vodka. Most miserable flight I've ever had. It was worse knowing I had a first class seat.
Yeah, yeah, I voted for this. :(

I don't fly that often and am lucky (as well as my wife) as we've never had to worry much about our weight.

How and when is the determination made that two seats are required? This situation seems like it could get a little western at that moment, especially if a certain ethnic group is involved (with an attitude already).
I don't think you know me.

It should be like rides at an amusement park. Here is a model seat and if you don't fit you don't ride. No need to even go to the gate.

The other thing is why does a 100 lbs woman and that woman have the same weight limit on checked luggage?
Yeah, yeah, I voted for this. :(

I'd DEMAND she pay for half my ticket since she'd be taking up at least that much of my seat. Fair is fair, right, Tons-o-fun?

Screw that! Whoever sits in front of me in a flight can't lean their seat back at all due to my long legs. You start that bs and us tall people will have to pay for something beyond our control

I am on flights all the time that are completely full. I've never seen it happen, but what would they do if there literally couldn't fit all the ticket holders on the flight because there were a couple of bohemoths that took up two seats? Kick off the bohemoths and make them get an extra ticket on another flight? I've never considered the possibility until I saw this thread.
See above. Been there done that. You either stand up or sit on the FA's bench. My problem was a guy that had difficulty even getting down the aisle. They had to round up 3 seat belt extensions for him. He had to weigh 450
450s not so much

I flew from 2005-2020 weekly for work. There is palpable terror on most when an open seat next to you is available and something line that is shuffling down the aisle.
