That still doesn't solve the issue of them spilling over into someone else's seat.
Make them buy both seats in a two seat row if they are over a certain weight. It's a simple solution.

Im good with all that.

That’s when the seat belt extender is linked up to the existing seatbelt for 18” of obesity expansion.

And honestly, the bigger people I've known that regularly fly would be ok with that.
But airlines need to honor it. And I'm talking about when some Karen that didn't book her seats with her kids together try to pull the "I need that seat so I can sit with my kid" bullshite.

Just make them pay for extra space
as a tall person, they make me pay extra for more leg room
how do they not have wider seating options for the fats?
oh, right, that would probably remove a seat or 2 and that would take away profits and we can never allow that

Would you rather fly sandwiched between two fatties, or two Indian people?

I can't believe how many people have animals on planes now. The seeing eye dogs I have no problem with, but the emo Dems who bring their cats in the cabin are absurd.

I have complained twice and they gave me some free miles, no refunds!
They need to start measuring people’s width!…or make bigger seats!

My neighbor here on this flight is oozing, big time!
Arms and thighs are pressing against me!!!’
This is awful!
I’m going to sit in the bathroom for the next hour, seriously!

I saw one so big that she was sitting in two seats and they had the seatbelt extender running across both seats using the female and male belts from the two different seats. That's what I was talking about, some of these folks are so big that their arse covers the seatbelt receiver between the seats.

Nope the amount of germs in an airplane bathroom freaks me out more than the amount of germs in the cabin or from elbow/knee touching a fattie

Have a 75inch tv and industrial scale. Weight everyone in when they arrive. The weight will broadcast on the tv.
You’ll see less people traveling or losing weight.

Can you imagine the outcry from the heavy community….”discrimination” against obese people!
The only real solution is charge them for 2 seats,…and problem solved….but how do you do this prior to the flight?
It must be addressed, and my back is killing me!

did one of those helicopter tours in Hawaii. Because helicopters are ultrasensitive to weight balance they made EVERYONE step on a digital scale first to determine (a) whether they were too fat to fly and (b) where they would assign them to sit based on weight distribution.
It was comical waiting at the helipad and watching all of the women react to being told they had to step on a scale. They all pitched a fit. These weren't even fat women - just normal bodied, could stand to lose a few pounds middle aged women. Being told they had to step on a scale was horrifying to them. And only the gate agent could see what the scale read, none of the other passengers could see their precious weight total. At least one of them refused and canceled her trip.
I had a similar experience in Belize. Had to get on a puddle jumper down to Dangriga. They weighed all of us and our luggage. One American hippo got told she'd have to wait for the next flight with less people. She made a scene. It was some quality entertainment.

I have to imagine at some point, if the person just can't fit in one seat, that they kick them off the plane.

I can only imagine the melt that comes with that.

Must not be too fresh….people are wanting to comment!

winner winner. This is why I fly first class.
Make all the seats the same size and charge accordingly. Its (ridiculously expensive, like most things currently) but worth it IMO.

Depends how sweaty the fatties are and hopefully the Indians aren't loaded up with curry. Either scenario is a losing one.

spent the whole flight leaning forward because there was no room for my shoulders to fit sitting back
Good God. This sounds like hell
