Checked into both flights as soon as able… got mid-C boarding pass. No biggie, I’m 5’2, average size, so middle seats don’t typically bother me. Our flight was delayed 2.5 hours, taking off close to midnight. Our C group was told (loudly) “this is a full flight, don’t pass up any empty seat, you’re just delaying the flight even more”. So I sat in the first open (middle) seat. I got my headphones and purse settled, then looked for my seat belt. It was UNDER the lady beside me. She also had pulled the armrest up, because she didn’t fit in the seat. She apologized, and I said “it’s ok”. But it wasn’t. The person on the other side was also very large, so took that arm rest. I couldn’t even put my computer on the tray because there was no room for my arms!! It was so hot, I was miserable. I couldn’t move! I did feel awful for the lady beside me, but isn’t there some sort of policy that if you can’t fit in the seat with the arm rest down, you have to buy 2 seats?
