davecttr Posted July 14, 2014 #26 Share Posted July 14, 2014 What if the 'larger' passenger overflows into the seats next to them ? Do the passengers in those seats just have to suffer ? Just put the seat arm down :) If that does not work cause a scene, after all you are on a package holiday and they HAVE to get you to the ship on time. If you can't fasten your seatbelt because the next door occupant is width challenged the plane can't take off :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite trying the seat belt routine, the person stood up so I could fix it. Then seating again he took over 30% of my personal space (across my chest). Attendants did not help stating the flight was full, and had to look forward to spending 9 hours next to the person, with my clothing starting to soak up his perspiration. YUCK!!! His wife across the aisle, stated he should be praised, because he had lost a great amount if weight over the last 12 months, being now down to 32 stones. :eek: We moved ourselves to the little attendants seating by the exit. Was given an airline T shirt, and binned my Polo. Edited July 14, 2014 by PORT ROYAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever that the wife, sat across the aisle instead of next to him, she should have swapped her seat with you!:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good suggestion. Did not think she would have booked 2 aisles (clever). But think my DW would have preferred to next next to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey M Posted July 14, 2014 #30 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I would have insisted, with very little in the way of politeness, that she vacate her seat and take yours. Then he take your wives. That is unbelievably rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
