per seat will work. Just need a measuring tool like they do for carry-on luggage. if a passenger cant sit between two rails equating to a seat dimension, then they must buy two tickets.....

otherwise, even if they pay more for the weight, they are still hanging over into my seat....

I know an old boy who is about 6-6 and weighs about 380. He has paid for two seats and most of the time they put someone in the seat he paid for on standby. Instead of worrying about other folks just fly business class or first class and stay out of the grayhound bus at the back of the plane....
