I don’t fly. As a fellow fat guy, I feel it’s my responsibility to not infringe on others due to my size.

I commend your consideration!

Anyone know if most (if not all) airlines have the policy forcing obese people to buy two seats?

Also, at that point, would it be more cost effective to get a seat in first class?

For the same reason I don’t go to the movies or sporting events.

Some airlines have the policy, but it’s not strictly enforced. Since obesity is not a clearcut line, and they’d have to ask your weight and assume you’re too big over a certain number, it’s not something they can apply fairly.

Nope. A 1st class seat from SJO to DIA is $1,500 as opposed to buying two cattle seats for $600.

But, 1st class is more comfortable and the bathroom is rarely crowded.
