But I still have to pay a $150 fee if my bag weighs over 50lbs?

Has to be a catch with this policy. Must be limited to the first row because how else would the oversized get down the isle or squeeze into the other seats?

Skinny and tall.... do I get free extra leg room? Sounds like height discrimination.

Absolutely BS. it should be the complete opposite - get up to the gate and you’re to fat to sit in a seat? Sorry, can’t board.

Low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines is being celebrated by "passengers of size" on TikTok after they discovered they can request complimentary seats – one or two, depending on needs – to accommodate their girth.


I for one am glad that me and my monster circus penis can travel safely and comfortably now

Seriously. And people have less control over their height than they do their weight.

I'm 6'2" so I can fit pretty well in the regular economy but sure wouldn't mind a few more inches to stretch my legs or work more comfortably.

WHAT THE HELL SOUTHWEST?!

That’s what I’m thinking. I’m not obese but I’m a bigger dude - 6’2” and around 245#. Yeah I know by the chart I’m probably obese but most of my weight is muscle and my body fat % says I’m definitely not obese.

I would love the middle seat to be mine as well as the one I’m sitting in. How does SWA decide who can and can’t ask for the free seat?

The other passengers will be paying for her extra-wide arse.

So the majority of passengers can't get a free seat? Or, the majority of passengers are paying for these passengers to have two seats. They also might get bumped from a flight so some fatass can have two seats.

This policy is shite.

The fact that anyone in the media gives that fatass twat any air time (like she is some fricking heroine) is ridiculous.

If you had a crash, how would that porker get the frick off the plane? Would she get stuck in the aisle, keeping healthy people from evacuating? frick her.

How does her big arse walk dow n the aisle? One of my dads friends would buy 2 seats because he was a big dude. Not fat, but a big man. I guess weight lifters/football players/ people like that get a free seat too. How can they decide how many seats to even sell? They can have 1 or 2 extra seats. Who the hell takes up a whole damn row on a plane?

They’re going to need to implement a FoLo policy as the fatties will need to pre-board first along with all the other folks.

FoLo - first on last off. It stands to reason if you need help boarding then you’ll need as much help getting off the plane. The pre-board group should have to remain in their seats until everyone else is off the plane so they can get the help they need exiting the plane. This would cut the pre-boards to zero.
