Should overweight passengers have to pay more for plane tickets?

@RSquared lighten up Francis . I make jokes. I don’t judge .

@AthrillatheHunt STRIPES!

@MalcolmY Having had that very argument on a plane where I found my "fellow passenger" had lifted the armrest that would have separated us because he was spilling over on to my seat. I asked to be moved and the stewardess was very sniffy about it. Had I stayed in the originally allocated seat I'd have spent a 4 hour flight leaning over and getting a bad back.
Now you can argue either that airlines should have much wider seats, and therefore fewer passengers all having to pay more, or that if you're taking up two seats you pay for them. However, you can't say a very obese person doesn't impact on fellow passengers.

@lonelyIT That is true, you can't stand up the whole flight, imagine if it was long haul!

@SophSmiles Thank you!

@RSquared Another good point.

@RSquared It would seem to be economical from that stand point but it wouldn't happen.
We already know that companies are going to do things that work in their own favor.

@CestManan Yes, they would take the "extra" but you can't ever see them handing anything back.

@SisterShadow Yeah, I can see your point over that, thanks but you feel strongly about this?

@YourMomsSecretCrush You are fooling no one! You are just wise.

@CestManan yes, i have heard that certain airlines will ask you to voluntarily get on the scales if they think you meet that criteria and insist that you buy another ticket.

@Wol62 that would have to be humiliating.

"Rotundra Lunchealot, this way please..."

@Crazychick Well done, i wish you every success.

@Wol62 Thanks. :)

@Crazychick Anytime, we had a co-worker who was 2lb UNDER the weight where you needed to buy an extra seat, you can bet everyone helped him lose weight.

@Tastyfrzz Onebis overweightbthen? Pne? What are these words in English?

@Crazychick ones that are difficult to type on a wee cell phone with big fingers.

@Tastyfrzz I don't use a phone to go on websites, I use a computer.
