    Good idea and price tickets based on the passengers weight.

    It's awful being stuck by an obese person on a long flight. They ooze over into your space that you paid for.

    I think that if someone can’t sit in their seat and have the armrests down they should have to purchase two seats.

    I don’t know what their determination is. But I had the window seat once and there was a large lady in the middle. She had to have both armrests up to be able to fit and she was touching me and the guy in the aisle seat. The only thing that kept me from raising a stink was the plane was full and I had an appointment I couldn’t miss.

    Here's an idea.....make the effin seats big enough for a regular size person !!! I'm 6 ft 4 in and have to either get a seat by the wing emergency door or be cramped up unable to walk when I depart the plane.
