Do you think it should be made mandatory for plus size people to book 2 seats instead of 1?

So I was on a flight from LA to SG and I am being squeezed by this plus size lady that I nearly suffocated. I tried to get a refund from the airline but they didn’t reimburse me the money.
Netizens’ comments
- Yes. Tax the fats
- Unpopular opinion: Airlines should be mandating two seat purchase for people beyond a specific waistline if they already are scrutinizing our luggage size so stingily
- Simi plus size. Fat means fat. Cannot say oh plus size refer to women and fat refer to men
- I’m a ‘fatscular’ dude and I take up a sliver more space at the shoulder level which I can understand makes other passengers a tad uncomfortable. I think there should be measuring contraption for humans at the check-in areas as with the carry-ons. If a passenger exceeds a certain size, not weight, they have to pay a premium until a threshold where they have to outright purchase two seats. The premium will be used to defray some of the comfort costs to the seat mates. And also, start regulating on the hip clearances and pitch(for the taller ones) for airlines. We don’t want to reach a point where only leprechauns can fit into the standard seats and everything that used to be normal is charged a premium for.
- Hot take : Make the seats bigger for everyone so everyone (Except the airlines, f- you) wins.
- Unpopular opinion: luggage are charge by weight, tickets should too.
IMO, luggage should charge by dimensions, not weight.|
For exp, I could check in both 2 big almost empty luggages below the weight limit say 20 kg.
But if check in a cabin size above 20 kg will be charged. (Put the heldheld option aside or I have 2 cabin size weigh beyond 20kg)
