Perhaps they could just add some seats that are 33% larger in an area on the plane. Hopefully on both sides for balance :) And then just charge 33% more for the larger seat.

Correct answer.

Amazing how a free market can work, if given the chance.

Sounds like a workable option.

SW said they were selling the 2nd seat at a reduced fare so in effect this is what is happing.

I haven't flown in many years. The last time I did, the seats were wide and there was lots of room. I have seen mock ups of the seats now, and they look miserable for everyone fat or not!
The airlines should not have caused this problem in the first place by severely reducing the size of the seats!
I think we all know why they did this, and everyone complains how uncomfortable they are now!
