Reminds me of the story of the woman who had to be cut out of her house when she died, because she couldn’t fit through any door.

1. He didn’t really need a big thanksgiving dinner.

2. What he really needed to do was WALK to his aunt’s house... lose a few pounds that way.

[oh8eleven]

She was told because they couldn't verify that she was the person on the credit card they couldn't sell them the second ticket
That makes no sense at all. WTH does the airline care whose card it is as long as it's valid?

[WestwardHo]

Thanks Key Large-O. LOL!!!

I once had to sit next to this fat guy with really sweaty pits. He was so big that every time he relaxed, his sweaty pit pushed up against my shoulder. I had to keep telling him to stay off me. Disgusting.

A second seat would have been appropriate there.

Have no fear, the ACLU will bring suit and the Airlines will have to install XXL wide seats in all their planes.

Be thankful for the picture, I had to watch a Rahm for Mayor political video to get it.

Seems like nice kids but you can’t go on amusement rides if you don’t meet the requirements. The one thing I believe the airlines needs to do is have seats available in the main area BEFORE check in to see if you need to purchase an additional seat. Mrs. Obama is no where near the weight of the guy in question.

I looked at the article, I’ve see WAY bigger people than him get on an airplane! Granted, there are some who need to buy 2 seats, but I’ve also seen much bigger people try to squeeze their fat rears into a small airplane seat!

Why did Southwest end up apologizing, reimbursing them and giving them free tickets? Sounds like a company unwilling to support their own policy.

[pillut48]

Oh, please—Southwest is a MEAN BULLY because this man is TOO BIG for a seat and their policy (which has been around for how long? YEARS??) is that he would need to purchase another seat so he would fit! Oh, the HUGH MANATEE!!!! :-O

Yeah, whoever checked them in screwed up, but the drama the news team is projecting?? None there, because they got where they wanted to go.

I’m wondering if the bus company made him pay for an extra seat...

[La Lydia]

So Southwest apologizes to them! What a load. Southwest saved at least one poor soul from HAVING TO SIT NEXT TO THAT for an entire flight. The brothers should be turned over to Michelle Obama for re-education.

The only thing worse than sitting next to a fat, perspiring, smelly Goodyear blimp on a airplane is sitting next to someone with a crying, pooping baby. My idea of hell has change over the years. And I long ago started complaining. If I can't get an upgrade, I demand that they seat me next to a normal person.

I have often wondered if, after the plane is in the air, the pilots notice the thing flying lopsided or something and
then have to trim it by transferring fuel from one wing to the other.

“Umm...Hey Bob.. do a cheeseburger trim for the right side”.
