Obese airline passengers

Friday, August 1, 2008 around 9 am mountain time

This extremely delicate issue about domestic and international airlines’ discrimination against people who are obese (clinically or not) is detailed by AirFareWatchDog. I’ve been wondering about whether or not “customers of size” should be forced to pay extra since the rest of us are paying huge fees for heavier suitcases. AirFareWatchDog has the answer.

Many people assume that fat people are getting a free ride. But are they? Nearly all airlines keep it very quiet, but many have policies – informal or formal – in place to make sure that passengers of size carry their own weight.
