Jetstar: Hefty Passengers Pay Extra
 
By  BRYCE LONGTON 

Australian low-cost carrier Jetstar, has laid down the law for
overweight passengers: one seat for the price of two.

Passengers who hit the 350 pound mark on the scale are now expected to
pony up for two seats. So clearly, Jetstar = Fatphobic. However, it
seems that Jetstar also = stupid, because the latest fat passenger to
fly with them, Samantha Scafe, had her two seats booked across the
aisle from each other. She is obviously suing for discrimination. What
I'm curious about is whether or not they have passengers who look like
they might tip the two-seat scale, stand on the baggage scale to get
weighed in before the flight.

BTW, the comments are hilarious!

Is that comment by "Lyle" the one and only Lyle Blake?!?

Traveler Monday, Feb 9 at 8:48 PM FLAG COMMENT Well, the airline
certainly could have handled this better in almost every respect.
However, I give them credit for breaking the ice on this sensitive
subject. I don't have a problem with charging very obese folks for two
seats. This is where common sense has to trump discrimination laws
that will be twisted to sue airlines. I fly a lot and have
occasionally sat next to the morbidly obese passenger. I was
physically (and uncomfortably) squeezed against the wall of the plane
for the flights (I almost always fly at the window). In the one case,
the fat passenger was 1/3 into my seat - I am not exaggerating. There
was nothing to do, they were just huge. Let them buy two seats. Sorry.
It's that or lose weight. Think me cruel? I don't. These obese people
aren't bad people, I have no hatred for them at all. Indeed, I have
compassion. But they have a health problem and it is affecting the
passengers around them. The effect is easily solved by simply
requiring two seats. What is the big deal? What are we worried about,
hurting their feelings or something? It's not about that. It's about
physics and two objects not being able to take up the same space. We
restrict and control people all the time for disabilities and health.
Should we let the blind drive because we are worried how they will
feel? Ahhh, that's a ridiculous example! A blind person simply can't
drive. Exactly. A very obese person simply can't fit into one seat.
Really, how you implement it is the challenge and one that I don't
envy. Rather than weight, maybe they have some sort width measuring
device that is deployed when a passenger looks too big. Amusement
parks have to deal with this all time - with people too small (little
kids) and people too big to fit into the seats. My sister worked an
amusement park and dealt with this regularly. It was a safety issue
and she was unrepentant about it. Can't fit. No go. Same thing. Fat
people, get over it. ... MORE > RAY Monday, Feb 9 at 12:47 PM FLAG
