It depends if they're overweight. Not everyone 13 stone would be.

Vicky. · 18-10-2010, 09:43 PM

I doubt many people who were 13 stone would need two seats

13 stone isnt even that much. And steph, you dont look anywhere near that

I normally wouldn't support what I see as any discrimination of any kind be it overweight or anyhting else, age whatever. However with perhaps a bit of hypocrisy I have to admit I am now of the view they should pay extra,for the reason that a year ago, I was flying out for a break with a friend, a last minute decision but where we were going there was only 1 seat left on that particular Plane.

She insisted I go first and she'd follow the next day.However once on the plane I saw there was this very large person occupying 2 seats,it turned out they had only paid for one seat but this meant I and my friend could have travelled together on the same flight at least. Had that person not needed 2 seats.
So from a selfish view I would now say yes, if anyone needs to occupy 2 seats then they should pay for 2 seats.

If the person's ass takes up more than one seat then it is kinda taking liberties to pay for only one.

It depends how tall you are. There are a lot of men that weight 13 stone and over and are not fat at all.

(Women show more weight than men. If a man and woman were the same height and same weight the woman would look a lot more noticeably fatter)

I disagree about paying for an extra seat. Truth is, the planes should be fitted with seats that can accommodate ALL size people. Humans come in all shapes and sizes..hello. Not everybody is fat through pure gluttony and self indulgence. Some have inheritted weight issues and some have medical or psychological issues that cause their weight gain.

But they are still ONE person. They shouldnt be charged double ffs.

Benjamin · 19-10-2010, 01:21 AM

Yes indeed they should, it's not the airlines fault they are bigger than the average person.

Its the airlines fault they don't make seats for real people...who come in all shapes and sizes.

Its discrimination charging extra.

its a great idea but could you imagine how much space it would take up on the flight?

People choose to fly with that airline, the airlines can do what they like, they are providing a service that wouldn't otherwise be available.

If people don't like it, they should find another airline to fly with or use alternate methods of transport (which would probably be more expensive than 2 seats).

Im making a moral decision. Following your logic you could bring in a ton of rules regarding transport that would discriminate against all kinds of people.

Its morally wrong and outright discrimination. Business or not.

Why stop at airlines? Let's fight for "Fat Seats" on buses, tubes, theatres, cinemas etc etc to prevent unnecessary discomfort and inconvenience to the rest of us who are otherwise currently being discriminated against, having paid for a seat on which we are forced to perch precariously as we share it with the overflowing buttocks of a total stranger.

The businesses concerned would, of course, have to increase their prices in order to accommodate their fat customers, which means in effect that the rest of us would be subsidising those people who CHOOSE to be fat, as well as those who have some genetic predisposition to obesity.

Perhaps a fairer method would be to ensure that those who have a medical condition that makes them obese can get help with the cost of an extra seat - a bit like the NHS scheme for mobility aids etc. The rest of the fatties who see it as a lifestyle choice can pay for their own extra seat.
