He wasn't getting much love from from mothers with kids either.

They need to do a width check as well - I’m tired of people ‘fat spreading’ into my seat space.

Obviously you are not a fan of the chunky.

‘We’re paying twice for the same experience’: Plus-size travelers hit out at ‘discriminatory’ airline seat policies

If they pay twice, do they feed time twice as much?

I think airline flights should work the same as any other freight: pay by the weight and volume.

But some people can't help that they are fat. Even if they take Ozempic (ask a doctor about it today).

Pilot arrested in Scotland after allegedly showing up drunk to New York-bound flight

US investigates Delta over plane stuck on tarmac in extreme heat

Passengers sat on the un-air conditioned plane waiting to take off in 111F (44C) temperatures.

www.bbc.com

"The flight bound for Atlanta was ultimately cancelled after customers sat in the un-air conditioned plane for three hours."

3 hours from New York to Atlanta? You could fly there and back no? It's just a shade under two hours gate to gate from where I live.

She was allowed on the plane? I remember getting off from the US a bit wobbly after a same day trip and forgetting I violated duty free rules so I volunteered to be taxed. Duty agents were more concerned about my state of mental acuity that they just told me to take my cognac and go.

Airlines can’t add high-end seats fast enough as travelers treat themselves to first class

Airlines are focusing on adding roomier seats to planes after spending decades cramming as many seats into coach as possible.

“I’m not going to fly to Europe in 36B. 36B is a bra size, not an airline seat,”

A bra size or her bra size?

The flight from Atlanta to Barcelona was forced to turn around after a passenger had diarrhoea on board, reports say.

www.bbc.com

"We've had a passenger who's had diarrhoea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta,"

They couldn't lock them in the washroom?

Air Canada passengers kicked off flight for refusing to sit on vomit-covered seats

An Air Canada passenger wrote that two of her fellow travelers were escorted off a plane because they refused to sit in vomit-covered seats that were not properly cleaned.

Because you know for Air Canada the expectation is you sit in vomit.

I was always under the impression that economy class air travel was luxurious and looked like this, and people dressed up:

but then someone brought it to my attention that economy class looks like this, and no-one dresses up.

Why the golden age of flying is never coming back — and it might not be a bad thing

...but I think that's just how they were dressed in 1949.
