BEING OVERWEIGHT WILL COST YOU ON FLIGHTS
POST by NVus
No 1 said life would be fair….too me there’s no such word. Anyway United Airlines to charge overweight passengers for two seats.
VIA THE BSIDE
Passengers carrying extra baggage on their bodies will have to pay for an extra seat - if they want to fly the friendly skies.
United Airlines on Wednesday began barring overweight fliers flying out of Chicago who:
Can’t fit into a single seat in the ticketed cabin.
Can’t buckle their seatbelt - even using the seatbelt extender.
Can’t put the armrests down when seated.
Those deemed too fat to fly “must either purchase a ticket for an additional seat, or purchase an upgrade to a cabin with seats that address the above-listed scenarios,” United Airlines wrote on its Web site.
If no other seats are available on that flight, the hefty flier is grounded until two conjoined seats can be found on the next plane out.
