It's no punishment.

When you are making someone pay a double fare simply because of their weight, how are you not penalizing that person?

[Poohbah]

If you make an airline haul that person around at no extra cost, in a business where paid seat occupancy rates are EVERYTHING, how are you not penalizing the business?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

It is not because if their weight. It is because they occupy TWO seats, and the arilines make money on seat miles.

SW is not the first to do this; other airlines have done this for YEARS.

You take two seat, you pay for two seats.
