When boarding a plane to travel, we can only hope that the flight is safe, smooth, comfortable and without drama. But time and again, there are stories making headlines about sagas in the sky. One of the issues that crops up is how airlines, and fellow flyers, are or aren’t accommodating plus-size passengers.
AA is not the only airline with this policy. United Airlines gives a bit more detail on their site, stating that they
“require that all passengers fit comfortably in their seat on the plane.” UA notes that passengers might have to make additional arrangements “if yf an extra seat isn’t available, passengers will need to change their flight to one that has extra seats. But they offer compensation in the event you’re inconvenienced. “If you’re not in your home city, state, or country, and your new flight requires you to stay overnight we can give you meal and hotel vouchers as well,” reads the policy.
The influencer says some airline policies are “discriminatory” because passengers like her are “paying twice for the same experience.”“These passengers should be provided with an extra free seat, or even multiple seats, to accommodate their needs and ensure their comfort and safety, as well as those around them, during the flight,” reads her
hile the average width of an airplane seat has been shrinking for decades, bodies are getting larger around the world, with experts predicting that over half of the global population will be overweight or obese by 2035.”By entering your email and clicking Subscribe, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
