I agree with Silk in that the 2nd seat should be 1/2 price. I also think that maybe airplanes should be equipped with bigger seats, anyway. And while I understand that they would take up more space or whatever, it would be worth it. Because the seats are too small as it is. I'm a big girl, but hardly obese in the sense that we're talkin' about. And I am uncomfortable in the seats as it is. So I'm REALLY wondering how that person fit next to you, PrettyPoodle.
Miserable must be a serious understatement. And perhaps each flight should be equipped with 1 or 2 larger seats on the plane. Now, I do think that the larger seat(s) should cost extra, but not the cost of two seats. It needs to be a win/win situation for both company and customer.
