How do they determine if someone is fat? I mean, it can't be by weight. At peak shape I weigh 220 which can be considered fat for many people. At 260 I have a bit of a gut but can totally fit in a normal seat no problem, but heck alot of people would be freaking beach balls at 260.

Do they like measure your waist size or something?

I mean, it's pretty crazy that standard seats are so crammed together that if someone is overweight they can't fit in one, although this is true in many theaters (orchestra etc, not movie theaters anymore at least thank god...well usually).

The suggestion to offer more "comfortable" seats on each flight for slightly more (2 seats per row instead of 3), for an increased price (about 25% more), makes the most sense to me. You wouldn't need THAT many of them (I just can't imagine there are that many, even americans, who can't fit in anormal seat), and you lose out on 33% (2 seats instead of 3), you only charge 25% more because you use less fuel with one less person, and don't offer a lunch/beverages etc to them, no paperwork, luggage shipped etc.

Charging for 2 seats is a total rip off.

And honestly you could even make it so the seats work for either 2 or 3 people (just have it be bench seats, with arms that come down in multiple places (so you can sit 2 or 3 people on the bench seat depending on what you need). Yes, those seats can't go back like the others, but it gives you options and they can be used for standby etc in a pinch.

The current setup of charging twice as much is ridiculous.
