Default Re: Debate: Overweight people and airplanes

[ QUOTE ]


If you allow price discrimination at one level there is no reason to not allow it at others. The one exception is if someone is so large as to make the use of the seat beside him impossible. Then he is implicitly costing the airlines money.

I think that was the OPs point. A person taking up an additional 1/3 of an airplane seat is infact making it impossible for a person to sit in that seat. These seats on airplanes aren't exactly the roomiest ones ever
