Uh, looks uncomfortable, lol! Were you crippled afterwards??

The smallest plane I’ve been in, besides a four-seater, was just to island hop in Hawaii, so nothing very long....

I visited JFK’s presidential plane at our local air and space museum, I barely fit in that. Nothing like feeling Amazonian :0-)

LOL! Close. Brings a new meaning to "up close and personal."

That plane seats 37. Now you're actually going to feel better when it's full. Why, you ask? Weight distribution. I once flew with four other passengers...total...on that plane. The 20-ish flight attendant was looking at her chart and moving us around before takeoff to distribute our weight safely. That's a real confidence booster.

This should not be a problem. They should have seats for the obese. It is up to the airline to accomodate their passengers. They should not be pitting passengers against one another.

And I really don’t like the ridiculing of people’s bodies even though the Wookie has made it popular. Everyone has a heart and it serves no one to make people feel badly. It’s the airlines’ fault. Fat people travel like everyone else and the airlines are too cheap to act responsibily. One size does not fit all in life.
