THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
My husband and I fly frequently and hold our breaths many times wondering who will sit in between us (I like the window, he likes the aisle).
I was reimbursed by another airline because of this same situation. I was shoved into the window during a 5-1/2 hour flight because of the very overweight person sitting next to me. She needed an extender on her seat belt. I even helped her attach it, no thanks whatsoever. and then it began. She poured herself into my space and I couldn't move. There were no extra seats and therefore I was stuck, and I mean stuck! Then the panic began. What would happen in an emergency? There was no way that I could have gotten past this person.
When I arrived home, I called the airline and suggested a simple remedy. When you purchase your ticket, you need to check a box if you need a belt extender. CLUE - place people either in two seats or next to the window so no one is trapped by their excessive weight.
I would not be cruel to anyone, but I do have rights too.
