Doesn't one of the current airlines have container you put your carryon into to show if it's too big or not? Why not have an airline seat and do the same with people?

Airlines should charge by weight. Only thing that is fair.

Couldn't she just bring her own seatbelt extender?

I AGREE!!
I got hosed on my luggage weight couple weeks ago and had to pay $200 for my luggage because it weighed 75’ish lbs. and then you look in like at some slobs weighing 3-bills plus.

To turn that on its side, do airlines need to redo the interiors of all its planes to conform to the hyper-obese? Ticket costs suck now. Fitting fewer people on a flight because someone can’t put the fork down is going to get expensive

Just curious. What's your cutoff for how large the person is before it's not the airline's responsibility to provide a comfortable seat??
300#
400#
500#
600#??
Should the airline be responsible to put cargo doors on all 737s so you can forklift a fatass into their support cradle??
(Sorry, I just have an aversion to dumbass simplistic comments)
ETA: The above commenter was correct, the empty seat isn't free. Fatty may not be getting charged for it directly, but everyone on the plane pays extra. When the airline can't sell a significant # of seats of the plane due to all the fattys, guess what happens. The price on all the rest of the seats goes up. Follow the money!!

It confirms their extra seat so regular size people don't get stuck with fatty's rolls all over them for an entire flight.

I want to try that. They won’t know that I’m normal sized when booking. And unless the attendant makes a note (and why would they?) when I ask for refund after, they will still think I’m a fat arse.
Did we just figure out how to ensure an empty seat on southwest?

Sure seems like it. If you’re a couple traveling together, seems like a no brainer to guarantee a row to yourselves.

Hell yeah i'm doing this next time I fly southwest. easy way to guarantee extra space.

Just busted out laughing at that for some reason. And the absolute best and least shocking part of that video was that they were heading to Disney.

3 pages in and not one person made mention that they’re also traveling on a MAX 8

I feel like “plus-sized” was the wrong adjective here. “Flotilla of beached whales” more fits the bill.

thats where it ends. They dont owe obese people anything else.
Let me guess, you think Amusement parks need to modify their seats for fats as well?
Posted on 5/1/24 at 8:41 am to tiggerthetooth
I agree- airlines should replace *all* seats with seats large enough to accommodate passengers with extra girth. Should probably make sure they have enough space between rows to get to the seat as well.
(I only say this because it would be a dream to fly in a plane with such an arrangement)
