Some is having his parents visit him in . Because he's well adjusted , he's asking the good people of StackOverflow (the travel subsite) what to do about his cow of a mother .
So - where is the cutoff? Is a 300 pound 5'6" woman going to be too big to fit in a single airline seat? Or am I worrying about nothing?
Of course instead of telling the fat pig to loose weight, the fatties of SO oink together about their struggles .
But I have been really worried about flying because I am a big girl, I'm 5'6" and close to 350lbs
... even though we may be curvy, we can still fly without paying more for our curves!!!
We're still in the comments and I already want to blow my brains out . Fat rolls aren't curves
... Passengers of Size ...
At least in the answers one normie comes out and explains what the rest of us have to put up with .
An update, I had a flight a few months back with Qantas, where I was wedged between two very large women.
I am 6'3" and pushing 400 pounds and I have never had a problem on BA flights.
Some gross hippie says it's fine. Bio even claims that he's active. Probably counts going up the stairs as exercise
My girlfriend is 5'4" and almost 450lbs right now, and she is just getting to the point where a second seat is truly necessary--up until recently she could squish (albeit uncomfortably) and with the courtesy of the other passengers and a single extension she could do just fine. At 300lbs she had no real problems at all. The seats were a little tight, but the armrests could still go down at that point. :)
Yasss qween get that bag with your feeder fetish boyfriend.
I'm a big girl 5'6 and close to 400 ( working on it) and usually fly 1-2 times a year.
but also totally depends on your body shape too.
Uhhh Michelle, blob is like not a body shape, but go off I guess .
I am 5'4 and roughly 256.

Imagine complaining that someone is taking up half of your seat and being told that you can get off the plane.

I would bite the bullet on this one personally, it's fricked up but it's better than suffering next to a fat on a flight
I would just make sure to very loudly explain that the passenger is too fat for me to fly next to in the slim chance they have enough shame to feel bad

Unironic fat privilege.
How have we degenerated so much that even objectively harmful aspects get preferential treatment at the expense of those living a positive life?! This is so butt-backwards, we punish those that improve and maintain society, and pamper its parasites

What can you even do at this point. You tell them to lose weight, they dig in. You make fun of them, they dig in. You do nothing, they dig in.

Just in case you wanted to hate humanity even more, here in Canuckistan morbidly obese people legally get a second seat *for free (i.e. all the non-fatties collectively pay for it).
