"Kenlie Tiggeman, a 30-year-old political strategist and weight loss blogger"

A 268 pound female weight loss blogger? Bwahahahahahaha. I'm sure she's a certified fitness instructor too.

“As long as she fit in that seat, she should have been allowed to fly,” passenger Arnette Small said.

The question is whether she fit in the aisle.

Yeah....she’s still to fat to fly in one seat. Just buy a seat for each butt cheek or put the fork down....your call.

"I'd hit it."

That doesn't count. You'd hit a lubricated oven mitt. We need a bit more objective opinion.

I feel sorry for this person but people have to stop pretending outrage at this common-sense rule. I know she wouldn’t fit in the regular seats at Fenway Park in Boston, so she would be able to get a special seat with others who cannot navigate the baseball park easily.

Don’t journalists have anything better to focus on? Oh, wait, Michelle Obama has this vendetta against obesity... better look good, you journalist minions.

It’s about width, not weight.

Airlines are selling space, and customers should have to buy however much they will use, like cellphone minutes.

I understand the need for the airlines to get as many passengers on board as possible, but honestly ... the seats are small. I’m 6’ and 165lbs and I find the seats to be narrow and legroom to be minimal at best. I can’t imagine being even slightly overweight and trying to sit comfortably on a plane.

Don’t blame journalists. This story is a result of two women throwing a hissy fit and blaming the airline for their own problem.

It’s a legitimate issue.
