One of my best flight experiences ever I was nestled between 2 large soft ladies
Snoozed entire flight.

First time on a flight seeing an argument break out

Is it a long flight?

Den to Phoenix so fairly short. Looks like attendant got it resolved.

It’s ridiculous that we weigh and size bags but not people.

time for shoulder high plexiglass walls between seats. I kid...kinda

I don't disagree....but not sure it's simple solution to solve.

It seems simple. We have example rollercoaster seats before the lines to make sure you fit.
TCuz
7:54am
Ok,did t realize there are sample RC seats..
TheHop
7:56am
But what if the person on needs a seat that is 110% bigger or 150%

Because when you interpret a remainder you may need a whole new whole. If 60 students can fit on a bus, but 67 students

unless you have a few rows with slightly larger seats.
Pangare

Maybe a warning at the time of purchase about weight/size limits, and possible actions taken if it causes a problem

Eventually they'll make the seats bigger and make everyone pay more.

They do offer larger seats, but people choose not to pay for them, expecting

Never thought of it that way. FC seats are targeted at price-insensitive

Exactly - passengers over a size/weight limit should be required to buy seats in first class
Bobber

I have never actually thought of that. Now I am going to be confused about that
Painterboy

or they could make the seats a little larger.
Pangare

What happens if we change the offending characteristic to smell?
Pangare
9:40am
I don’t have any patience for people spilling into my seat. There are other problems, but this one is objective.
TCuz
10:04am
is it simpler for you to learn patience or for a fat person to loose weight?
Pangare
10:09am
I don’t have any patience for a person in my assigned space. This is so easy, I’m sorry.

Bad smells don't objectively factor into the physics and economics of operating

Many airlines have body odor policies, including Delta, United, & American.

Frequent Delta flyer and didn't realize that. Guess I'll have to start bathing.

For small planes, you have to weigh the people. Just a fact of flying.

If the person weighed ops to take a lighter bag to offset their additional...
Pangare
10:15am
If total weight is the concern that would be fine, but seat space is different.
TailgateU
10:56am
Correct, and big planes aren't exempt from the same physics.
seacougar
10:41am
They also weigh fuel, btw. People reacting to this as if it were a social issue,
seacougar

Super helpful insights — thanks

I wonder what the solution is. Because obviously it’s not fair to others who are
Duke Silver

Just don’t cram the seats in so tight. Problem solved.
Shawarma

Perhaps solves one problem, but creates another. Fewer seats on a plane mean
Duke Silver

Heavier people in the same quantities also make the prices go up, as well.
seacougar
10:40am
Many people value cost over comfort, so airlines have an incentive to reduce
TailgateU

In Canada, they declared the obese have a right to two seats for price of one
Gustav

Asinine if true.
seacougar
10:39am
Those seats already exist at the front of the plane, and they cost extra.
TailgateU
10:57am
Spend the money on a bigger seat, or a personal trainer. Decisions, decisions...

While I agree that it is ridiculous we weigh bags and not people, how overweight
lilpenny

I agree with you. I just deal with it when it happens to me. An objective policy
seacougar
1:34pm
Do airlines even let you buy 2 seats?
Spine

The guy on the aisle is right. He paid for a seat and should not have to accept
