I don’t fly much anymore, but in the last 5 years it seems more and more people need assistance boarding planes and being escorted in wheel chairs to the front of the line along with their whole family.
Upon arrival at the destination they are asked to wait last so the wheel chair can come get them. Miraculously the flight healed them and they get up and walk off the plane.
Yes, it’s a certain segment of the population that knows how to play the game.

I hate flying with a passion. Going to visit friends in Phoenix for Labor Day and I’d rather drive the 6 hours than fly for 1 1/2.

I'm surprised they haven't started wearing their handicapped tags on a chain.

Southwest has a “people of size” policy. Essentially extra large people can buy two tickets, get early boarding and then get a refund on one of the tickets once they complete the flight. Nothing like subsidizing “people with lack of willpower”.

If you haven't flown the Jxn, MS to ATL or BWI routes, you haven't seen anything. At least 50 % of the flight are females that weigh over 400 lbs. And every wheelchair is in use.

Fat people are nothing but a burden to society

It was funny during Covid watching the fat fricks lineup to get their shots with a route 44 in their hand.

Some people can walk short distances. Stop assuming or judging.

The walk to baggage claim was longer - Shaniqua and her family were able to get to the front of that line as well.

Unless there’s some big time crunch I’m driving any one-day drive.

oh man. Over spring break at Hobby in Houston, the SWA gate to Miami was otherworldly. I've never seen so much fake LV merch. I passed by and was so grateful to be going to literally anywhere else except Miami.
