Yes.

If you spill over into other passengers personal space, you need more than one seat and should be charged for it.

Plane travel is optional and voluntary. Not a protected right.

You know, fat people always b1tch about their rights. What about the rights of the other passengers they impede on.

And they also b1tch that airlines, whatever, are biased against them because they aren’t equipped to accomodate them.

Its because historically no business had to accomodate such fat asses because hardly anyone weighed a metric ton, much less threw a tantrum because the aircraft wasn’t designed for one person that takes up the space of two or three people.

I agree.

But certainly in the previous admin, for example, the argument would be made that such obesity is a medical disability against which the airline would be discriminating illegally.

They could make the entry doors to the airport the same width as the seats. The same way you check if your carry-on is the right size by sliding it through that metal frame.

What about people that are just physically larger than average. I’m not excessively overweight, maybe 30 pounds at best. Losing that weight isn’t going to change my structure, which quite literally is larger than the space allotted in economy class (my shoulders are wider than the space is), which forces me to lean to the side if someone is seated next to me to avoid encroaching on their space.
