Weight limit for passengers.

Hey folks,

Now I got you - I'm not talking about pillions... I'm talking about fat people that fly coach.

Just wanted to get your opinion on if you think airlines should impose a weight limit for passengers.

I ask because of a recent horrific flight I had where next to (and on me) was an obese lady who had to basically pick up her fat rolls and hang them on the arm-rests, and me, to get into the seat.

I requested to move seats but the steward said the flight was full. I didn't say anything to this woman but it was pretty obvious. Near the end of the flight I regretfully got into it with her and told her she should have bought two seats because she was using 1/2 of mine (well actually my lap) and the person on the other side of her. It was seriously uncomfortable and quite gross having someone else's fat resting on your leg for 3 hours.

At the end of the flight she ended up calling me "fat-ist" at which point I'd had enough and replied - "oh no... I think you're fatest!".... let's just say she didn't like that.

This got me thinking that maybe airlines should have a weight limit for passengers. I'm not saying fatty's shouldn't fly, I'm just saying there is a certain amount of physical space that you're buying when you buy a seat and if you spill out of yours you should buy another.

Discuss......

 

Some do.
Here's the thing; you are basically taking a flying Greyhound bus considering how cheap ticket prices have been for the past 20 years. Expect the trip to be similar in quality.

 

In a perfect world an individual who is broader than 'normal' would identify this fact to the airline and request two seats; in turn the airline would say "Sure, no problem, there is no up charge for that, we just want to provide the best customer service possible."

In contrast to your story . . . I still fondly recall coming back home on a business flight and sitting next to a beautiful Latina who smelled delicious and was showing me pictures on her phone so of course we had to lean in towards each other. purrrrrrr

 

Last year a story iN news about Samoa airlines charging by the pound, passenger and luggage! Like freight you pay by weight.

 

Yet another reason to get back into my bikini body. Enjoy your dinner!

 

I had a flight last weekend and my problem was how bad the lady smelled. It was her perfume. She had to have used the hole bottle. Luckily my flight was only a hour.

 

Ah man you just reminded me about a flight I took from UK to USA back in like 2000 - someone at AirFrance decided it would be a good idea to put sample bottles of the duty free nasty french perfume in the bathroom on this particular plane and every woman that went in there sprayed themselves - after 3 hours it was so bad the whole plane was coughing and people were literally throwing up. I've never seen so many people vomiting at the same time. I haven't flown Air France since.

My mum of all people had a problem of always wearing too much perfume, I think because she used to fart so much she would over-compensate but it's also go to do with sensory adaptation. Hey perhaps it was her... did she have a giant beehive and dressed completely in spandex?

Lesson 1 - don't fly AirFrance -
Lesson 2 - don't sit next to my mum.

 

Ok enough I have to scrub my brain to get image out of my head
