Make the blimps buy a second seat - they sure weren’t shy about buying second and third lunches, breakfasts and dinners.
As if that weren’t enough, she was seated next to a dude.
To avoid exposure to toxic masculinity and the possibility of being sexually assaulted right in front of God and everybody, females are hardly ever put next to male strangers.
Maybe this woman said something to piss off whoever assigns seats. I would have suffered in silence, but suffered nonetheless.

This is another reason why I told my wife that, from that point forward, I refuse to fly coach. If we're going to fly anywhere I'm only flying 1st Class.
I refuse to deal with the coach cattle who want to pay Walmart prices but want to be treated like they're at Waldorf.
Good. Fatties need to learn.
Yup. Airline travel stinks. That includes the beloved (overrated) Southwest.
Who owns the space in your face? I got into a massive argument with a guy who habitually leans his seat into the flattest position, virtually crunching the passenger in the seat behind him.
When I thought back about the details... this was on Southwest where there was at that time at least, no reserve seating. I was flying standby which means the airline personnel were just trying to fit me on any plane where they had an empty seat. So I cannot blame them. I think though that it is getting to the point that if there are so many people who are too large to fit in standard seats that airlines are eventually going to have to have bariatric sections and fat people will have to pay more for them.
As a pilot who owns my own aircraft, I can tell you that it is the weight and not the girth that costs money to carry around the skies in airplane.
Or Glandularly Challenged...
the beloved (overrated) Southwest.
Or, my favorite, comes from a newspaper food critic ...
“The food was terrible and the servings were too small.”
That makes sense. If you are too obese to fit within a seat then you should purchase a second seat ... or better yet ... lose weight.
Can’t blame the woman. The fatsos spread far beyond their own seat. The airlines should impose an obese fee for a double seat.
My wife has a weight problem so when she flies (as little as possible) she purchases 2 seats. On a flight a few years ago she was in her seat when another woman who really did not have a weight problem but was just physically large came up to get her seat in the row looked at the situation and got a very worried look on her face, she was very relieved when wife told her she had 2 seats. We have found it increasingly difficult to actually book 2 seats, the airlines or their computers can’t seem to grasp the concept and keep trying to sell what they think is your empty unclaimed seat to a standby passenger.
Direction we are heading.
If that was their logic, they could have purchased 3 seats (not 4), to share the middle seat.
Blackness avoids recrimination.
Damn, dey be FAT!
Note to woman traveler: Next time, book an aisle seat.
Flying has become the new Greyhound.
