This woman seated between two obese people is awful but so are they for not buying the extra seat.

Airlines also don't inform you that your seat mate has an "anxiety" dog. This is inexcusable. If you don't like dogs or are allergic, you are SOL.

I agree with this. I am uncomfortable being too close to a strange dog; how come someone gets to relieve their 'anxiety' while generating anxiety for me? That is bullshit.


The last flight I was on, there was an "anxiety" ST. BERNARD. It was sprawled across the aisle for most of the flight.

While I wouldn’t like the situation, I would not make a scene.

I couldn’t get the article to load, did the nurse ask the couple nicely to sit together?

These people are obese, not lepers. Good grief.

Good luck with that. You can be polite all day long but airline customer service STINKS. You’ll be the one getting rebooked.


Youre only saying this because they are Black.


Rightly so. She's the one with the problem. When has air travel ever been pleasant?


Sorry, no. When not one, but two people are spilling into my seat, I *have* the problem, but I am not the one who *created* the problem. The burden of the remedy should fall on the one who caused the situation.

You are disgusting.

You're an idiot. What makes you think that I wouldn't have the same reaction if they were white?

Would I be pissed seated between two 300-pound individuals for a 4-hour flight? Absolutely.

The couple should have booked themselves first class.

Problem is, they should've bought out the whole aisle.

What this thread has been about all along!
Let's be prejudiced against overweight people AND black people .
You know some of you should not even be allowed to classify yourselves as human beings.

Are you saying that since they are overweight and black that it's okay to hog the middle seat?
If they were overweight and white would you feel the same way?

You need to get a clue. You are the reason why people think we're all monsters and racists.

I know so many people who do this and take this gamble. The other woman was super rude though, it was not the way to handle it.


And it's absolutely allowed.

The woman having the tantrum could have paid extra for a window or aisle seat, or booked earlier, etc . . .

Southwest has a great policy on this. It’s their “customer of size” policy. It’s not well known, but basically, they will give you a second seat if you are obese. You have to reserve it in advance. You don’t have to pay for it. I forget all the rules but my good friend books her travel on southwest through this policy and it works well. I love traveling with her because we always have a guaranteed empty middle seat.
