I dont think that overweight people should pay more for one seat, but I do think there should be weight restrictions for one chair.
For example 120kg seems fair, if you are over that you need to buy a second chair.
What do you guys think?

Hmmm i think i agree with that. But then again what would happen if a pregnant woman came on?

Pregnant women usually fit into economy chairs, no?
But I wish they would ban the whole story of letting parents have their small children on their lap.

They give tall people extra leg room by seating them near the emergency exits. Maybe they should allow similar provisions for overweight people.

A pregnant woman is not permitted to fly during her third trimester unless she has a doctors certificate.

When the heck have they ever done this NEVER for me I've always got my long legs bunched up. I think a lot of the problem is the airlines having planes with such tiny seats with no leg room because they are trying to pack us all in there to make more money. I fit in the seat just fine but the legs don't. Worked to my advantage last March flying to P.R. sat between the hubby and a great big hunk of a man who was a sports scout. He spilled into my seat a tiny bit but I didn't mind that one at all! LOL![]()

The two best answers I've heard are:
1. Give the overweight passenger two seats, and charge him/her for both of them (extra cost to be refunded if the plane leaves with open seats still available).
2. Make available, a couple special "bench" seats with no armrests. These seats to be reserved for "special needs" passengers, for an extra cost.
Planes cost money to fly. Extra weight takes more fuel to the engines. If one person takes up the space that would normally seat two paying passengers, then I have no problem with that person paying two fares. Matter of fact, there have been times when I've been squeezed in-between people so tightly that I would have been happy to pay an extra fare to have an empty seat next to me! (LOL)

A few weeks ago I've seen this guy forcing himself into one of those seats (the air hostess actually told him that the plane is only half full so he should sit somewhere else where he can fold away the armrest (they were fixed in those rows) and be more comfortable but he said he was fine there) So he sat down with his lard pushed up to his underarm by the armrests...
I looked at his size and then the size of the exit and made a note of the blocked exit, in case we had to evacuate.
That, Little Darlin', is why they should allow chainsaws onboard airplanes...

Chainsaw? Nah, I'm only 5'4" but I'd hit that fatfucker like a linebacker for the Cowboys and he'd be out the side of the plane in a flash making a bigger hole for all of us.

What's the difference between a heavier person with no baggage, and a thin person with heavy baggage? They both use the same amount of fuel.![]()

The solution isn't bigger seats...it's smaller doors!

That's fascinating info, Nudie. Thanks. I like an "inside look" at things like that.
