"lol all about money isn't it" So what else is new? | |||

"lol all about money isn't it" Not if you're the person next to him who has been squashed/sat on by him through the flight!
Bad enough on short haul but on a long haul flight would be torture! | |||

"lol all about money isn't it" Well yeah, I suppose it is but look at it from the airline's perspective. They're there to make a profit and due to this man's size they shouldn't be forced to forfeit a seat. I think they're right to charge him for two seats if that's what he needed, especially if they needed to remove the armrest between them and supply Vaseline and a shoe horn to squeeze him in!... | |||

"A man who was 37 stone had to pay for two seats on a flight because he was so big. The first seat was in row 17 and the second in row 19 "He must have one hell of a big arse | |||

If you read the OP the seats are in different aisles so he can't possibly sit in them as even someone who is 37 stone would never reach. Hence why I said in this case it seems it is all about money.  | |||

Pssst...the seats were not close together  "I know, I'm assuming that they charged him for moving whoever was supposed to be sitting next to him to another available seat, given that the extra seat he was taking up was already paidand accounted for. . . . . I think!  | |||

. If i were 4 of me then id expect to pay more. Obviously whoever it was that couldn't fit in their allotted seat would be bumped into the different seat. Computer systems don't always have programming for adults the size of 4  | |||

" seems it is all about money. "i think it is all about money and the airline wishing to recoup the extra money that they have to spend on fuel due to extra weight being on the aircraft. They have been doing this for years with luggage so why not people ? Not sure which airline it was but with some you can pay a charge to pick which seats you are allocated therefore ensuring both seats are next to each other | |||

So it seems no....they sold him two different seats in different aisles "Yes as they probably did not have two seats together to sell to him but once onboard would have moved another customer in order to make sure he had two allocated seats next to each other. | |||

"I'd assume that would be due to moving another passenger to a different row rather than removing one of his bum cheeks!... "its because of the weight limit on each seat, all because you fit in one chair if you exceed the weigh limit you have to pay for another seat even if it sits empty as they cant sell it anyone else | |||

"Not sure if this is a joke or not but there deffo needs to be some kind of price scaling for obese people across the board. Why should someone have to share their airline seat with someone else spilling all over them. Likewise with other forms of transport, cinema, theatre etc......Also why should a size 10 women pay the same price for clothing as a size 22+ when it probably has twice the material and work involved etc......." To be fair, this isn't trying to be a fat bashing thread, the man bought his two seats knowing that he needed them. It was more the fact his two seats were not together | |||

Size 22 clothes are generally twice the price of size 10, and if I am unlucky enough to be sat next to a slim to average gentleman on a flight I generally find he deliberately spreads his legs and rams an elbow on the arm rest next to me, just to make his point, that being, I should be a hermit. Sorry did I say gentleman... I would gladly pay more not to be judged and insulted. | |||
