How To Fly If You're A 'Customer Of Size'

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

My wife was recently on an Alaska Air flight. She had an aisle seat with two obese people in the other two seats. Because of their size my wife had less than half of her seat available to her, and she could not use her seat belt with one of the obese people sitting over it. The attendants told her there were no other seats available. She used her seat as best she could for takeoff and then stood for the remainder of the two and a half hour trip. It would seem to me that having a passenger who has no seat belt available would be a safety violation.

As far as we are concerned - United is a WINNER for their policy. Overweight people should have to purchase two (or three) seats if they want to fly - and should not be allowed to infringe on someother passengers space.
