And no I'm not picking on obese people for being that way, rather I am picking on them for their heinous attitude towards others that have to be squeezed by them while barreling through the air in a steel tube. I've never been obese, but if I was I would buy two seats on an airliner so as to be polite and not inconvenience anybody else. Yesterday, on a 3.5 HOUR flight I had a middle seat between two 300 plus pound plumpers. I was polite and didn't put the armrests down onto their love handlers, but my kindness was taken advantage of. The little space I did have was infringed on more and more by jelly roll arms and legs. I then put the armrests down after having enough, and then one of the whales told me i was inconsiderate. I then offered him my peanuts lol. How do you esteemed folks deal with the porkers on flights?
Ah. See I only ever fly to 2 places: Puerto Rico and Toronto-Pearson International and London Heathrow. So, my connecting flights out of Harrisburg are never full to Baltimore or Atlanta, and the plane from either place to San Juan aren't 100% full either and always 2 seats per row. I always fly Air Canada when I go to Heathrow airport so there's plenty of rows where I can just put up all the armrests and make my own bed and the plane from Harrisburg to Toronto is only 1 seat per row. Luck of the draw lol
I prefer the window seat and with that comes a chance of being smashed in for a number of hours. First thing I do is lower the arm rest. Other than that, I just hope for a lucky draw.

I'm sorry, but this is just hilarious to me haha but yeah, airlines really should make a area for morbidly obese people but then again it would discrimination.

I have not flown in 3 years, but last time I flew I got all 3 seats even tho I only need 1. that way I can lay across them if i so choose to, plus I dont have to worry about having someone wanting to cross me to get out of the row.

That exact thing happened on a recent flight, however the two surrounding masses were husband and wife. The center seat was literally gone. I immediately advised the first flight crew member that this was't happenin and to either find me another seat or another flight. The flight was full, and last one for that day. . Customer service was very understanding, after they realized the actual situation as the flight crew fully supported my concern. I got meal vouchers, a night in a hotel, and upgrade to 1st Class the following day......I was neither rude or demanding, just firm......it was well worth the delay.....

Interesting. I bet this couple intentionally booked their seats apart like that hoping to have the entire row to themselves for extra room.
