The right to fly? What bizarre drugs are you on today?
Why didn't you book your seats so that you and your wife could sit together?
Flying is not a right. It is a priviledge. Everyone should be buying enough seats to accomodate your size. Plane seats are getting smaller and tighter and some people are getting bigger. You should not have the right to inconvenience other people because you are soo big that you occupy two seats.
Yes we did book our seats ahead of time to fly together of course. However upon arrival to the airport (in advance) we were told our seats are not together. Hmm?
Turns out, they obviously re-shuffled the seats to accomodate the obese. Even though we asked before boarding if we could sit together they said it couldn't be done. One of the obese, since he could not fit next to me and his friend, was moved to first class. I wondered why they didn't let me go to first class instead?
We were not the only couple. Other couples approached us later and had the same problem. Wait until it happens to you and then maybe you will be more empathetic.
