They start drooling and get excited when the meal trolley arrives, their banana fingers tearing at the packaging like they've been starved. You know if you've anything uneaten they'll ask you for it.

flew from Bham to Munich a few years ago on a small plane ... 1 seat, aisle, 2 seats.

Evening flight, plenty of space so lots of the double seats taken up by only 1 passenger in each.  I get double seat to myself, happy.  last minute fattie woman waddles on and comes and sits next to me, overfowing into me ... horrible - and hot (in the wrong sense) - miserable 2 hours sat there while this obese woman's arm and thigh pressed against me.

Should complain every time, and if they don't sort you out on the flight, should certainly get into their ribs afterwards.

I don't like it when one of the pilots is fat. What if he collapsed over the controls and the little guy next to him couldn't pull the stick back up?

From his comments, lfc1971 is obviously a fat git who has never flown.

I once had to endure a guy next to me who sniffed his runny snot up his nose about 3 times per minute on a 3 hour flight. I'd have given anything to swap him for a fatty.

Yes, you should pay by total weight (you+luggage).

Elementary mistake! When you`ve got a row to yourself, but passengers are still getting on, always, ALWAYS  snaffle the aisle seat. Far harder for someone to attempt to clamber over you, than grab the inviting;y open aisle seat. Obviously your baggage should be on the inside seat as well, which puts a stop to any ideas they might have.

Anyone ever put on a pile of extra clothes from your suitcase when it was a few kilo's overweight? I am sure its allowed as I have done but if you were charged per weight of both you and your luggage it would no longer be an option.

Came out of Bodram late one night, post holiday, flight delayed 4 hours hit the upstairs bar overlooking the departure lounge , like an obese goddess she pushed her twenty stone through the over crowded lounge, tattoos, track suit carrying two points of lager and plonking herself down next to mr fat glum , marbles for an 4rse , cellulite fest. "You see that's whats wrong with airline travel" I said to the missus " ... people that big should have to pay twice the amount for the seat 'cos airine travel is also based on weight and she's never going to get that body into one seat". Four hours later we are on the plane, the window seat is the wife's,  I'm in the middle, next minute I get a tap on the shoulder The jelly pissed specimen of pond life passes me her fully extended seat belt and says "Hold that luv" whilst attempting to wobble herself into the aisle seat next to me. I turned to my wife mortified, she was pi55ing herself laughing. She had to get a seat belt extension eventually. I shut my eyes and fell asleep, on the train home from the airport my wife showed me a mobile photo of my friend with her head on my shoulder mouth wide open sound asleep , I was snoring away apparently, served me right I suppose.

I was on a flight out of luton with aer aaran . Had an old case , feck all in it except my laptop, smelly pair of socks, skid marked underpants and a bar of soap. Jobsworth says its overweight for "carry on" luggage . I took the computer out and said "Its OK you can keep the rest of that" .

She gave the case straight back to me and let me board with it !

When flying with an airline that allocates seats, all the sheep will dutifully sit in those seats. But if, as is frequently the case, the plane isn`t full, there will often be rows of empty seats at the back. Lost count of the number of times I`ve taken my shoes off and sprawled myself out across three seats, enabling a decent enough sleep, while rows of seats around me remain empty.

I had a mate who used to shít himself every hour on the hour.  Nightmare flying anywhere with him, sitting between two porkers would be preferable.

Fatties should definitely pay more for fast food, at least three or four times as much.  The price should then reduce on a sliding scale as they slim down.

It's not their fault. It's their genes or glands.

.....  agree its not their fault.

..... its the airlines , who have narrow seats , not enough leg room and can't handle oversized people or bags .

If they discriminate against people with heavier baggage then they should also discriminate against heavier customers .
