I think they should pay for 2 seats. It is not the airline's fault because their passenger is overweight, and they shouldn't suffer the financial fallout because of it

Hahaaaa! I think they should. It's different than on a subway or something because you're paying to ride, rather than paying for a seat. On a plane, seats are being paid for and if more than one is being used, the price should reflect that. Especially since you have people who have just a little bit extra weight- not enough to be considered fat but enough to not fit comfortably in the seat- who have to squeeze themselves in rather than be afforded more than one.

Should a Triple Whopper at Burger King cost more than Whopper Junior? Of course it should! Why? Because you're getting more! Are you going to tell Burger King they are discriminating against fat people who need to eat more food?
Two seats should cost more than one seat. It's only fair because that extra seat is a commodity that could have been sold to someone else. I think that there are some taxes on international tickets like customs, immigration, aphis, an departure tax that a fat person should only be obligated to pay for once. So, the second ticket price should be lower.
And, yeah, more leg room would be great, but that's not going to help a fat *** into a narrow seat!

Yes, the larger person should have to pay for two seats. Thank heavens Southwest Airlines has made this a policy. However, if the particular flight is not full, the person will get a refund on the second ticket. Why should I have to pay to share my seat with somebody else? I have no problem whatsoever in asking the person to pay half of my fare if they are causing me a problem.

I think they should. Or they should at least pay for a first class ticket. The seats are so small some people DO take up two seats, so they should pay for two.
They have made the seats so small these days though, that they are not comfortable for ANYONE but those who look like a toothpick.

NO, they should not have to "PAY' for 2 seats even if they need 2 seats. That is discrimination.
If someone needs 2 seats it should be required they get 2 seats but should only have to pay for 1.
Let's me honest the coach seats any all airlines are so small. I'm only 140lbs and I barely fit into the seats.

I don't understand why you are complaining, YOU were upgraded to first class! Do you realize how many LARGE people are upset with places that have seating built for small firmed people, how embarrassed they are, their are people that can't help being big, there is medical conditions that prove this!! Not all FAT people are lazy!!!! They have feelings just like you, I hope that you didn't make to much of a fuss over this in front of this person, can you imagine how they felt, the entire trip. As far as the airplane company's and every inch is profit, they will never change their size of seating, Maybe they should have offer him the first class seating instead of you, I am sure he would have been more appreciated. shame on you!!!!

yes because they are occupying space and they are costing air lines more money. i saw this on cnn no joke. fat people in a plane make the plane consume more gas, so the airlines have to use more fuel. so do they have to pay more. dam fcking str8

I don't think a large person should pay for two seats. But I also don't think that someone else should be uncomfortable because of their size.
Just be happy you got the upgrade and quit worrying about someone else's size and expenditures. It's really none of your business.
Now, if you hadn't been upgraded, I think the airline would be responsible for your discomfort and should compensate you otherwise.

How about the airlines give us a little more seat room...
Deep vein thrombosis due to lack of leg room is already
killing people and the airlines don't seem to care...
