Southwest Airlines caves in from the weight

Oversize...extra large... pay for two seats, don't make other passengers subsidize your travel.

Twenty years or so back I decided I would NEVER fly Southwest again. Picking up a connector in Chicago, sicker than a dog, flight canceled at the last minute in Chicago Midway, stuck in the airport over night AND they lost my luggage.
All airlines suck, some suck more, some suck less, one sucks most.

Hey fat ass, take a fucking train. They come with cattle cars. Air travel isn’t a right.
Solution with two words.

That or wear a Fat suit and lay claim to your own row of seats.

A number of years ago I had Lufthansa flight from Franfurt to Singapore. Middle of the 5 wide rows. Fuckin' torture. Good thing I can sleep almost anywhere in any position.
Worse was the return...after that torture to Frankfurt, 6 hour layover there. By the time I got close to the US, I would have taken a parachute and jumped if they had offered it to me LOL

Any landing you can walk away from. Am I right?

Would you like an after dinner mint? ETA to add..."it's wafer thin"
Had a land whale in front of me checking in for a flight last week that had to be over 300 lbs. She checked a huge suitcase that had to be right at the limit for getting charged extra. Throw my suitcase on the scale, it was 65 lbs (250loaded rounds of ammo for a competition and a rear bag with heavy sand). I weigh 165 lbs and had to pay $200 extra for being overweight on a bag, and the land whale paid nothing being about twice as heavy as me. I think you should have to stand on the scale with your bag and both should be taken into considertion!!
Well with SW you get 2 bags free. Maybe the $200 was a math tax…Had a land whale in front of me checking in for a flight last week that had to be over 300 lbs.

97%+ of flights have open seats so they just block the seat next to the person and the rest find other seats elsewhere on the plane. Its not suddenly going to cause ticket prices to spike IMO.
SWA carries over half a million people a day... I bet this policy gets exercised less than 100 times per day(probably far less than that actually)...and probably 95% of those times it would not involve removing a single passenger. its a big nothing burger IMO... but it generates revenue by pulling those people to SWA from other airlines that do charge for an extra seat. SWA will do ANYTHING to generate revenue these days.

Sooo, if you are a buff 6ft 4in vet or fireman, and require two seats does that count as ‘oversized’?
I’ve paid for two seats before on cheap ME and Asian region flights and buses more than once in the last 20 years.
20 or 50 bucks for a bit more shoulder room, and a fucktard buffer zone is cheap!
Maybe it’s a high protein diet, or just the reduced air pressure when climbing, I tend to fart a lot on aircraft.
If there are spare seats on board, a strategic fart or four can help vacate the seat next to you
