Fat Flyers Are Rewarded for Their Extra Pounds

[@JessicaLee.3]

By this logic, extremely tall customers should be entitled to have the seat in front of them removed so they have extra leg space. I haven't seen that happening on any airlines yet.

[@jsstars1]

Saw an article/ or news story not long ago about some planes were having seats removed so tall people have leg room. I think they were located by the exits on the wings. They also stated that it was an additional safety feature for easier egress.

[@redwall1521]

@@jsstars1 On American Airlines' flights, they have exit row seats, but you have to pay extra for it. You also have "premium" seats where you can also pay extra for several more inches of legroom, plus some additional benefits (e.g. free alcoholic drink(s)). But you have to pay extra.

[@Bob-ly4dy]

The funny thing is as absurd as this sounds, it actually has more merit than the fat person policy. This is because tall people have no choice about their height. It's just genetics. Fat people choose to be fat.

[@Bob-ly4dy]

@@redwall1521 Yup, I am a tall person who always pays extra for the exit row seats. Maybe I should just get Tiktok and make a video about how airlines are discriminating against tall people, and then I can get the exit row seat for free, and make everyone else pay the difference!

[@ultrablue2]

The worse part about this is that the “person of size” flyer has ZERO regret about bumping off the person from the flight so that they have more room. An absolutely selfish act.

If they want "free" extra seats, they should be made to wait for a free seat to pop up before kicking others off the flight. All flights full? Stiff shit, pay for a second seat or wait you fat prick

Yes someone is bumped from the flight. Recently my sister and her family enjoyed a family cruise. They planned this for over a year. Booked flights six months out. After their vacation, they were taken from the cruise ship to the airport to head home. They were on a cruise ship so they were not able to do the pre check in so they checked in when they arrived to the airport two hours before their flight. When they went to board...MY SISTER WAS BUMPED from the flight. Why? Because a larger bodied passenger needed her seat. For free. So my sister and her whole family had to miss their flight and catch a flight 4 hours later. They were told it was because that passenger did pre check and requested the extra seat before they checked in. And it's first come first serve. How is this fair?! They paid for their ticket six months earlier!

[@4nanaide]

@@Alison2436 If the customer is bothering other people having the option to pay for extra legroom, then yes, they should be forced to pay for that extra legroom. If the customer isn't bothering anyone and is dealing with the fact that their legs are getting crushed, then no, they shouldn't. Perhaps made aware of the fact that they can pay for extra legroom, but not forced to since they aren't bothering anyone. Also, if you have the time to record someone manspreading, or talk about it later in TikTok, you also have the time to act/complain in the moment. Perhaps it didn't happen to her and was watching it from some seats apart, but if she had the empathy to feel bad for the other person as she might have depicted herself in her TikTok, she should have had the empathy in the moment to help the person that was being put in an uncomfortable situation by a guy manspreading. Call a flight attendant and explain the situation. Pretty easy. If that TikTok girl did act and got the issue taken care of, or if it didn't happen to her and the person whom had to go through it did act and get the issue taken care of, then that's it, it's common sense that someone shouldn't be forced to pay for extra legroom or seats if they aren't bothering anyone and dealing with the fact that they will most likely travel quite uncomfortably. If they are bothering other people, then pay for extra legroom/seats, stop bothering people or get off the plane.

If we’re going to do this, I think it needs to be treated kind of like a handicap placard. A doctor has to sign off that you are overweight for reasons out of your control. If you have a doctors sign off, you have to contact the airline in advance to get a free extra seat. You can’t do it at the gate and get someone else kicked off the flight. If you don’t have anything from a doctor, you have to pay for an extra seat yourself in advance.

They should sell a “person of size” ticket that is discounted from the purchase of two single seats and it must be purchased ahead of time. I’m sure it can be easily coded to assign a “person of size “ ticket, two seats. That way, they are getting the space they need, guaranteeing that the flight will have enough belt extenders , while NOT impeding the travel of others. What happened to compromise? There is a middle ground here.

[@elizabethcochran3395]

I think the discount makes sense since you are guaranteeing to take both seats and you would theoretically only be taking complimentary beverages for one person and luggage for one (not that the airline pays much for beverages). Definitely ahead of time though.

Airline pricing should absolutely be based on weight of cargo. You and your bags. The lighter you are, the less fuel you are forcing the plane to burn. Very simple, I mean how much higher MPG does a truck get, just driving, vs towing a trailer with cargo. A 180lb man with 90lbs of bags should get charged the exact same as a 270lb man with no bags. It’s not like the plane can tell the difference. It’s still going through the same mechanical stress, still needs all that fuel, all the ground grew working on it, etc, etc.

[@kendraosborn1926]

I’m a FA for a major US airline. This is absolutely absurd. So many of us commute to work from states away. People like this who expect a seat because they’re overweight infuriates me. That takes away one seat from someone trying to get to work. Thank you for talking about this because it really does affect common travel.

[@StarGazer3382]

This makes me so mad. I got really sick a couple of years ago and put on a lot of weight from not being able to do much, if any physical activity and all, the meds I was on didn't help either. At my heaviest I went to 265 and hated it. Now that I am better, I have managed to lose 50lbs in the last year so far and am working on the rest. It's slow going but so worth it to feel and be healthier. Even at my heaviest I would never dream of having this kind of audacity that these people seem to have to want everyone to cater to them. Especially when most of them have the control over their health that I didn't have at the time.

Losing fat is not just about achieving a certain aesthetic, but it is also about improving overall health and well-being.

Unable to move the weight over to my backpack without holding up the entire line behind me, I had to pay a RIDICULOUS amount of money for my 5-lb-over suitcase. If only I had asked what their Suitcase of Size policy was...

[@debrakleid5752]

This pisses me off. She even has people who paid for their seat removed because she needs 1 or even 2 extra seats and when the plane is full someone can’t go because she needs extra seats. She claims it’s discrimination by not giving her free seats. Lose weight and fit in 1 seat. She has no sympathy to those who get kicked off a flight for her to be comfortable. I’m overweight and considered obese but I fit in one seat just fine. I don’t weigh anywhere near what Jae Bae does. She also made a video with complaints about hotels not having wide enough halls and demands robes that are up to 6X in every room which is her size and that everyone should be able to have one that fits them. What about those who wears 7X and larger? Thinks all plus size sections should have sizes for all plus size. That is a waste of money since very few people are 500+ pounds. She is crazy!

It's beyond frustrating trying to find clothes these days due to this disgusting change that has very obviously been put into place to encourage people to be fat in the US!

[@D34D-666]

Imagine you are flying abroad to visit a family member who is nearing the end of there life. You booked your ticket, made it to the airport and are about to board the plane. As your ticket is being checked the flight attendant tells you that 'you are unable to board the plane due to a person of size requesting and receiving YOUR seat for free on the day of the flight.' Its ridiculous. I agree that airlines could do more to suit the needs of obese people but not like this. Maybe their could be a form of id showing that you are overweight, when you book your ticket you can receive a discount on an extra seat if you show your id and if one is available. However kicking paying customers of the plane to accommodate someone who is killing themselves seems extremely unfair.

[@christinasheaffer4450]

Tbh I’m plus size and I fly Southwest constantly and am accommodated. Which is great but it does seem like special treatment. (I’ve tried every diet to loose weight and am still on my journey.) That said nothing is better motivation to loose weight than to go through the humiliation of having to ask for two seats or ask for an extender. It helps me see that there are things I do miss out on because I’m plus size. I’m torn because I’m grateful for the accommodations but also so guilty for needing it.

I understand why some people are upset but I think the issue here is airline and their small seats. I am a bigger guy 6’2” in height and I am on the heavier side. When I fly I try to book business class which is comfortable just for the reason the seats are normal size. The general cabin seats I fit, seat belt buckles no issues but my shoulders are so broad I rub against the person next to me. If I’m flying with family or significant other not an issues but with a stranger I feel uncomfortable and they do to. Make the seats a little wider and this won’t be an issue. If you are so big that you definitely require 2 seats maybe offer a discount for the second seat. Don’t bump people off flights.

This should be treated like an upgrade. "Oh, well, good news, we have an empty seat. You can have it." If you don't have an empty seat, you shouldn't kick other people off the plane to upgrade somebody else. You don't get an upgrade at the expense of somebody else. You get the upgrades if it is available. And if you do get booted for someone else, the airline should pay for your accommodations since it was their decision, not yours. Never flying SW again. Not going to risk being kicked off my flight for no fault of my own.

A note on the bag weight thing... That's actually because of OSHA safety requirements. If your bag is over a certain weight, it requires 2 people to lift it, thus the extra cost. It's got nothing to do with the plane's ability to take off, otherwise they'd be... weighing the passengers!

The only "weight issue" I had when flying was a number of years ago. I (6'2" 220 lbs at the time) was flying in a small commuter plane, think twin turbo propeller, 20 passengers max.

I think i might be too European to understand this issue... I used to work as a passenger handler on the airport and in the policy of EVERY airline was a disclaimer about "Extra seat". And there were metions when it is mandatory to buy and inform the airline about extra seat tickets such as "oversized passenger" and "valuble or oversized cargo" (i've seen one guy few times flying with cello or double bass, Jazz band of 4 was always bying 5 tickets). They have to buy "EXT ticket". If you didn't you wouldn't get on the plane. The only passengers that don't have to pay for extra tickets are caretakers of severly disabled passengers but airlines MUST be informed within specified time frame (i think it was 7 days, but i'm not sure if i remember correctly). There was simply no negotiations. Granted it was rare but everyone affected already knew everyting before their travel

If they get special treatment shouldn't tall people get to plug out the sits in front of them so they'll have more space for their legs? Shouldn't families get to have a whole row for free because they are a family and shouldn't be seperated? If i weight less shouldn't i pay less? If that's ur lifestyle you should be responsible for it jsut liek if somebody with a lot of kids should be resbosible for taht and realize tehy might get seperated in flights.

So if they end up on a small plane I wonder if they will just demand the entire plane to themselves? How about demanding to be fed on their flights because of being hungry and the small bag of peanuts isn’t sufficient? First class gets food and I’m waiting to see if I or someone else in that section will get kicked off so they can have my seat and my food? How about taking responsibility for your actions such as your weight? I’m obese and I will admit it but I would never demand someone else’s seat if I was that large which I’m not anywhere near it. I’m 170 pounds and short. I take responsibility for my own actions. There is only 1 thing that I get special treatment for and it’s by law. I have an extra carry on but it’s full of medical equipment and a bag of IV fluid, an IV pump, and IV meds so they have to accept it by law but I also know my bags and I will be searched to death. When we flew back from LAX to Daytona Beach my bags were x rayed multiple times as I was also x rayed, frisked, tested for bomb and illegal drug residue more than once. My bag of IV fluids was also tested by wiping the bag for residue. I knew what I had to do to make sure I would be allowed to fly with everything. After about 10 minutes of searching, frisking, nuking my bags and me I was allowed to proceed. Was I upset or insulted??? Nope. Not at all. They had a job to do and I knew we were safe on the plane. Jae Bae is in her 20’s and needs oxygen. I was on oxygen in my late 30’s but it wasn’t due to my weight. It was because I have CVID that caused me to have pneumonia numerous times causing lung damage. I also lost about 70 pounds when I almost died from sepsis and when I stopped a medication making me gain so much weight and I thankfully never got that big again at 220 pounds. Now I’m 160’s-170’s.
