I feel bad for them. I once had to sit next to an overweight lady for 4 hours. She was not comfortable and I was pinned against the window for the duration of the flight.

But I do believe that people that take up more than one seat should pay for that seat. This is not about discrimination but rather about seat occupancy.

We expect to pay according to weight when we mail stuff. Why not when we fly?
