Passenger Charges Obese Passenger $150 For Sitting Next To Him
A man has charged his obese seat-mate $150 for violating a 1/3 of his own seat, leaving people unsure how they feel about this situation. (simpleflying.com) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Obesity is almost an epidemic in Western society. Obese passengers should pay a weight surcharge and two regular seats. It's time for the government to step in and make that mandatory. Next obese people should have a section of the aircraft with a special exit for obese people. That way conventional body forms can escape without obese people blocking safe exits.
Crying babies and obese passengers. The bane of every airline passenger. Southwest has always been upfront about making large passengers buy 2 seats. If this truly became the industry standard, then there would be no surprises for anyone. The gate staff didn't help this matter. They knew this was a full flight and let the large customer board anyhow. Dumping the problem on the attendants is not a solution.
Although I'm not happy with the idea, it might be time for the government to force airlines to create a policy for fat people to pay a "fat fare" for taking up two seats. It's the fat person's problem they are fat, it shouldn't be my problem.
Why do you hate the rights of those with glandular issues? They aint FAT! They are "big boned" (just ask Cartman)
And, yes, your contention is 100% correct.

Glandular problems...as in over active salivary glands in 98% of the time.
Crying babies do not have a choice and their crying comes and goes, and they are part of normal family life. The great majority of children do very well on a plane.
This may have been a "win win" situation this time but doubt that would be the norm. Maybe next time the "oversized" passenger won't be so agreeable.
