I just think it is wrong. Are they also charging more for tall people? They should charge less for skinny people too.

Being tall doesn't cause a person to intrude into another passenger's seat so there's no reason to charge them more.
And being skinny doesn't free up more seats for other passengers so there is no reason to charge them less.

A "person of size" who over flows into another paying passenger's seat is a different story. They are causing others to have to sacrifice their own space to accomodate them. That is unfair.

Well, I agree that it is unfair to the person next to them. I think it is the responsibility of the service provider to accomodate, personally. If you offer a service then do it adequately for everyone. It might be different if they weren't so stingy with their seat measurements in the first place.

Oh, I don't know, when men choose to spread thier legs for comfort and thier knees and thighs are jutting out in either side of them certainly is an intrusion into my space.
