As someone that has sat next to someone who is obese more than once, it's can be an uncomfortable situation. I have no place to put MY arms, and usually I'm forced to have their body touching mine in a way that I would not choose to with a stranger under any other circumstances.
I don't know if that is the situation with Mr Smith. If it wasn't like this, he shoud've absolutely been allowed to fly. However, paying for a single seat doesnt' mean that you get to sit in MINE that I paid for. If you encroach on another's person's space, what makes your situation more important than mine?
I don't care how much someone weighs, who they are, if they're an adult or a child, makes no difference. If we're all allowed our little piece of space on a plane, it's all good to me. Just don't sit on my lap and expect me not to be bothered. You buying a ticket doesn't buy a piece of my seat. Thanks.
