plus-size passengers

That's apalling.

I think that was tried a long time ago but discontinued by airlines bc it weirded ppl out. I wonder if someones trying it out again due to the fuel crisis.

Once in the eighties my brother and I had to sit on opposite sides in the front of the plane while the stewardess sat in the back, to keep the plane from tipping over. Because we were the only people there with any mass at all. I'm not sure why the other passengers had no weight. But that was real life.

Not weight but I’ve known people who have had to buy two seats. It’s really shameful that has to happen.

I've never heard of this

It’s never happened to me

I don’t believe you

I’ve never seen it happen but I’ve read a few articles where airlines have considered doing it

This is the first I have heard of that happening. But I do know that airlines have a standard when it comes to the weight of a passenger, so it doesn't surprise me.

I doubt this. She's probably just laying it on. She might have had to pay for two seats but nobody is going to be that dumb to step on scales.

They should just have a few seats in the back of the plane that are for larger humans. I don't agree with the mandatory two-seat purchase. It's still just one person.

I have never heard of it and it is wrong

Well.. the plane has a certain weight capacity to fly regardless if its luggage or a person. The seats and capacity are designed for an average sized person. If someone wieghs the amount of 2 average people, it makes sense...

I'm on the fence on that one.

Was it mentioned anywhere before booking the tickets if no it's unfair trade practices

Not really sure what you're asking... It sort of reads like a statement posed like a question.

They should give people discounts the less they weigh.

Sure, that would encourage anorexia, but that's just more publicity.

well if im skinny i should pay less
