What about pregnant women? Should they be charged extr as well? I have to say that the last flight my OH and I took was extremely uncomfortable for both of us - yes I'm fat, but my OH is 5'10" and 12 stone (sorry, don't do kilos) which I think would qualify him as a "normal" size; he was very kind and kept the armrest up - what really annoyed us was the man (normal size) in the seat by the window who was reading one of the broadsheet sunday papers, with all the supplements falling out, which nearly hit my partner in the face every time he turned the page. My OH is not the most patient of people, so I had to swop my aisle seat for the middle before WW3 broke out. (and yes, I did ask him if he could take more care, to which I got a very brusque "sorry", with very little difference. I do think that a lot of the problem is attitude though, if you try to keep your seat and feet in your own space it is really very difficult to do, even if you are a normal size. Incidentally I do qualify as fat - but I am trying to lose weight so I can be comfortable as well as the person next door to me. Maybe you should provide your weight and height when you buy your ticket! Also bear in mind that the rate of obese people is growing rapidly in this country - maybe the "norm" for people will be "plump" in the next 10 years!
