I also see both sides to this, but...

I was on the way to Chicago, and in a row with 3 seats. I always sit on the aisle (personal preference). An absolutely huge woman who was flying standby took the window seat. The armrest had to be raised, and two of the extenders for the seat belt also helped her - and she still was rubbed up against me!

Granted, this is an extreme case, as she had to weigh at least 400 pounds (I have clients over 400 pounds, I know what it looks like), but if the passenger can fly without extenders or raising the armrest, I don't think they should have to pay extra.

Unless it's a small plane, like a 12 seater. Then, all bets are off!
