I feel that if you take up more than one seat, you should pay for more than one sit.
A parent with a small child has to hold the child in their lap. If that parent wants to take up an extra seat and use a "car seat", they have to purchase a second seat. They can’t simple raise the armrest and sit the child down
It is inconsiderate for a person that knows they are obese and will need to pull up the armrest between them and another seat, NOT to make the airline aware and purchase a second sit.
It would be more comfortable for that person to have the second sit, and less embarrassing than having their "row mate" pressed up against them and uncomfortable during the flight.
And what happens if two obese people are on the same row and they did not purchase that extra seat?
As far as the airline being made aware when ordering tickets online customers can give their height and weight when purchasing. Or the agent / online questions can ask "will you require a second seat for your comfort".
I personally feel that if you take up two seats you should pay for two seats, but on the good neighbor tip maybe the airline can only charge 1/2 price for the second seat.
½ price? hmmmmm
In that case maybe I will purchase a 2nd seat and be able to layout and read in peace and quiet. Or is not that not fair?
I don't think free seats should be given out simply because you are obese. You should have to pay to accomadate this. I agree with if the airplane is not full than getting a refund, but you should have to make that EFFORT to request the refund. You should not simply get it for free.
To many things are simple given away in this counrty. "Having it your way right away" is the main problem.
