    This is the same as the argument that tall people need more leg room on a plane, and shouldn’t be charged to upgrade their seat. Or that someone with a bad back should be able to fly business for free.

      I mean, certain airlines are starting to adopt size policies which will grant you an additional seat if you are overweight. Why is it such a stretch to believe that tall people should receive the same accommodation?

        I’d say that if anything, the tall people should receive the accommodation but the overweight people should not.

          both in this cases these would be counted as disabilites under the ADA… also there is no reason why someone who is overweight should not be accomidated
