So I'm size 22 (baggy), my hips are wide sure. I'm currently flying southwest and did not get reserved seating because I'm traveling with my partner and daughter and it was already 1k for the cheapest. Well, we were last to board and of course, full flight.
We all had to sit with strangers, and it leaves me to wonder why these things are so expensive but there's hardly any room. Even the thinner people next to me are scrunched up next to one another. > And the aisle is so small that the flight attendants have to practically knock people as they go by.
I'm sure there's some reason for this, but jeez. It's uncomfortable to encroach on people's space.

She's fat but she's right though, in addition to discriminating against fatties, planes also discriminate against normal sized people over 6'2"

Airlines barely make money so they repeatedly cut down on space between and in front of seats
It's a shitty market that demands flights everywhere all the time for as cheap as possible

Some markets are just bad to be in so you have competent players like Virgin Airlines stepping out
Mostly Southwest Airlines innovated by being cheap as frick and scared the rest of the industry into being bottom feeders. The internet price hunting selects for them
