I'm actually curious :S

You cant flat out say to someone sorry you're to fat to do this. That person has the same legal rights and the right to be treated with respect and dignity as someone who is 9 stone. If that person has no medical reasons not to fly then (which if they were 35 stone I imagine there would be) the airline would have a legal and moral obligation to accommodate that person. You cannot turn someone away because of something that maybe wrong with them, that is illegal.


Discrimiination is discrimination, you cant pick and choose what is and what isnt. Ridiculing someones weight is no different to ridiculing someone because they have no legs or because they are black
