What Real People Are Saying About Plus-Sized Passengers’ Rights
The photo stirred up a storm of opinions, with commenters not holding back their thoughts. “If they take up two seats, they should pay for two seats,” wrote one commenter, which others agreed with. For these commenters, it comes down to simple economics. Another commenter didn’t mince words: “You should simply weigh them like luggage before check-in. If they’re too bulky, they won’t fly unless you buy a second ticket.”
A third perspective offered: “Easily solved, if you are this large, you need to buy two seats. OR they should make plus-sized seats for passenger’s like this and charge them extra for the larger seat. Plain and simple.” Some shared their personal in-flight experiences. “I sat next to a passenger who had a seat belt extender on. For 3 hours, not fun or fair to others,” recalled one traveler.
