I thought morbidly obese people had to buy two seats.
I sat next to a guy like that on a one hour flight. Not cool.
I had one once, too. They gave him the seat belt extender — I never even knew such a thing existed. He tried to lower the tray table and it only moved about two inches! I still remember that flight 30 years later!
Agreed. If a fat/obese person takes up more than 1 seat .. make them buy two seats and to BLAZES with any complaint. It is a comfort issue for passengers next to them and a safety issue for all the passengers and flight crew.
Too many two ton Tessies and the plane could experience substantial flight/safety issues.
Same here, for a couple hours. Sandwiched between two fat guys, with their fat encroaching into my space everywhere. I made it a point to flare out my elbows to poke into their bellys from the sides, so they could share in my misery. Stupid airlines are making the seating space smaller and tighter, and not accommodating wide people. But it impacts regular and thin people as well, up against the fatties. They should have more handicapped seating and make it available to fat people, instead of cramming them in against normals.
That is my one fear when I buy my tickets to Viet Nam. 16 hours beside one of those or between two of them. I have never had to sit beside one but I have seen the misery inflicted by and the insufferable self righteousness of the Eaters squeezing out their neighbors.
