I agree with MJ. I don't think larger people should be asked to pay for 2 seats. They should be offered two seats at the same price if they meet certain weight criteria.

Likewise, skinny people who fit 2 in 1 seat shouldn't be asked to pay for 1/2 the fare either.

And I don't think MJ is fat or smelly. Why do you have to attack a person like that?

MJ, your a twit. Lardos weigh twice as much as an average person, take up two seats, and will eat 32x the food. It's only fair they pay double.

The solution would be bigger seats, which means fewer seats and everyone pays more on behalf of a few. Seats can be tight and I'm not the smallest person in the world but I manage to squeeze in and not take others space. Squeeznig out others isn't fair (or fare) either. And you can see that even though a lot of posters kick in unneeded descriptives to express frustrations, this is a legit issue.

MJ is totally a fatty, nobody else would be so damn defensive. Fatties should buy two seats because they're sitting in two seats.

No, I don't believe that select people should be forced to pay more than the rest of us to fly. I think that the airlines themselves need to find a solution that doesn't further stigmatize people who are already treated like crap.

MJ, for the poster, it was a flight from hell. Maybe crudely described, but a flight from hell for the poster. Don't you agree that larger passengers should pay for a pair of seats in a situation like this? And many of the stories do have the same theme but, if a person that is large buys 2 seats, the overweight postings would drop markedly.

Extra Large people need to buy two seats or not go anywhere. They should not be allowed to inconvience others due to the fact that they spent a better part of their lives sitting around and stuffing their faces.

Wow, a troll. How scary. I'm shaking in my boots at some stranger on the internet calling me fat.

Half the stories on this site are the same thing. It's boring to read them over and over again. This one wasn't even especially interesting or compelling in any way.
