That's not funny.

It's hilarious.

I'm not exactly thin myself but this is just plain old silly. Lay off on the McDonald's food and you shan't need a second seat.

They are all over you if your luggage is 1kg over......

I think its a complete joke. They should have to pay for the extra seat! :@

A very good point Jonesey.

I would imagine this has been an issue on the cards for a while, especially as the obesity rate has never been higher.

I guess for the bigger people its been worth the weight. :roll:

Not everyone who it fat can help it

Another thing to consider is that airline seats a smaller than they used to be.

It's not fair that someone has to pay double because of their physical size
