"But I do think it’s reasonable to expect airlines to provide reasonable accomodations to all bodies, without surcharging the people who require slightly more space than others."
Such bullshit. If you expect special accommodations, that costs money. I'm not paying for your fatness to fly, I can barely afford to fly myself! In fact, as a tiny, sub 5 foot girl, maybe I should pay less because I take up less space. That's my thin privilege.

The ONLY people I would ever even say ok to this for are people over a certain height that need more legroom.

That's true. If you're sitting upright in the seat and the distance between your hip and your knee literally cannot fit, I feel for you. Bone isn't as flexible as flesh.

They don't seem to understand that you are not purchasing the right to board the plane. You are purchasing the right to sit in one seat. If you can't fit in that seat, that's not the airline's problem - it's that fatass who can't fit in the one seat that the ticket guarantees.

This is old but some of you may have not seen this yet.
From the comments section:
But you have no problem paying for tons of extra food the whole year round out of your pocket.

This. A lot of fatties claim they eat so poorly because healthy food is so expensive, but I bet they pay way more for food than any normal human eating a human portion of steak, quinoa salad, and asparagus every night. Edit: thanks for the two upvoats! I'm now at an even 100 and will make it my life's mission to downvoat fatties!

God help these dumbass fat fucks if they ever end up in, like, a war zone or anything. They'll die from shock on the spot.

Here's a clue, fatty: If you're not sure whether or not you fit in one seat, you don't.

Airports should have those seats before roller coasters that you try while you're waiting on line, except with airplane seats.

Fat people should be made to ride bikes. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

Fat people should be hit with stones.
No need to drag birds into this mess.

The surcharge for the luggage is crazy too! Airline expected me to pay an extra $100 for my bag being ~3 lbs over the weight limit. I took out 2 hoodies and wore them onto the plane instead.

NOOOO. Not first class. They give you a free meal, free booze and nice, hot cloths to clean up with. Fatties don't deserve any of that!
[–] VegetarianZombie1 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Fat people don't deserve luxury. Put them in cargo bay.

Nooooo don't encourage them to leave coach!

Please link to archive sites; xojane is poison.
I've never sat directly next to a fat on a plane, but damnit if there isn't a ham directly behind me every time I'm in coach. They're the only ones who get pissed if you recline your chair (truthfully, it's a movement of a couple of inches). One asked if I could move it back; I told her very politely that I paid for a seat that can recline and I'm going to recline it.
She kicked the back of my seat at intervals. The joke was on her, though; my parents had a minivan when I was a kid and my little sisters spent a lot of time in the third row kicking my seat on road trips. I'm almost immune!

"What counts as too big? Most airlines judge this by whether the arm rest goes down. Ridiculous, I know." How is that ridiculous? If the arm rest does not go down, it means that you are too big to fit in the area that you paid for. Stupid, stupid fatass.

Lol she thinks that people shouldn't be charged by weight... she obviously hasn't done any next day shipping. Yeah let's accommodate packages of all sizes at the same price said no parcel shipping company ever.
