What do you think about these "plus-size" travelers complaining that they can’t comfortably fit on airplanes?

Airplane seat size is the absolute least of your worries.

Just set all the fat people next to each other. Make them sardines. 😁

They are extremely self-centered, wanting society to change everything on account of their lack of self discipline.

This is why they have oxygen onboard...............

Don’t put them all on one side of the aircraft!

It’ll just fly in circles............

I can remember back to my flying days. Sometimes I’d have half an L1011 to myself. Kick back, light up a Dunhill, and order a drink.

It’s sad, really sad that people love their taste buds much more than the rest of their bodies.

My youngest brother had a health scare that was brought on by his weight. He’s 61, a former cop, 6’ and was about 285. He is now hovering around 200 and is delighted with how light he feels on his feet. He gave up sugary everything, and exercised.

I’ve always been active, and have been motivated to stay slim and fit because my wife has always been that way.

I wonder, do they sell used C-17 aircraft?...........🤔

Get stuffed...

Since airline profit depends on fuel consumption, and more weight increases that cost, I propose that airlines charge by weight for a person plus baggage. Lighter people could get more weight in their checked baggage. Heavier people would need to pay more, because it costs more to transport them. That’s just simple logic. It’s the same with the seat size. If someone is too big to sit in a seat, they need to pay more for a larger seat so as not to invade the space of the person next to him/her. That’s about respecting other’s personal space, which somehow doesn’t matter anymore. If the airlines could sell tickets for standing the entire flight, they would. Government re-regulation of the airlines is needed along with some basic common sense.

Charge them for two seats if their overweight; and the airlines must get together and fight it out in court.

Don’t say that in the UK, you’ll get arrested!...................

[joshua c]

make a door the width of the seat

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If you are of unusual size you are going to have to pay more.

Life is that way.

Learn to deal with it.
