What's new

Greatest complain letter.

Sorry for this man who is morbidly obese. But he should have been required to purchase an extra seat.

And yes, if there were extra seats available, the complaining passenger should have been given one. I would have just stood back by the giggling, clueless flight attendants the whole flight and made them listen to my inane conversation until they felt compelled to act.
 
Lesson learned, unless you are a large and/or fat person, do NOT pay extra for the exit row seats. All of us large/fat people do just that. If you are relatively thin and fit pretty much ok in an airplane seat, then pay extra for the exit row, you better expect to sit next to someone like this. I fit better than that, but I still feel like a 14 year old crammed into a denny's child seat.

That said yes that guy needed an extra seat, maybe 2, but unfortunately there is no good way for them to gauge this, and very few people are going to admit to being like this and be forced to pay double for the same flight. Unless you come up with a mock-up of a seat and force people to sit in it the way they are supposed to put their carry-on luggage in those little cages to see if it will fit.
 
By the way, I need to add a new poop experience. I pretty much destroyed the toilet in business class last week on my flight to Manchester. Made not 2 but 3 flight attendants gag. Epic.

Could the folks that share this stature be moved to some sort of "cargo" area of the plane? I mean, at what point, or rather, what weight, should these people not be considered people and considered cargo? This is not an indictment of rotund folk but rather just "food for thought."
