Well, they've coped fine for the last however many years.

Unless someone is grossly overweight, it's unlikely to make much of a difference.

Well, obviously. But we're discussing it. No need to be a teacher's pet about it.

It would make a difference to me if my moving/stretching space was limited in an already cramped space due to an obese person encroaching into my space, especially on a long haul flight.

Flights are not cheap, stretching room is crucial for not only comfort but to prevent things like DVTs. I want to be able to ‘breath’ on a long flight.

Did you actually read what I wrote?

Here it is again, I'll bolden it for you.... "Unless you are grossly overweight, it's unlikely to make much of a difference".

Find me one scenario where a plane has crashed because a passanger was obese.
