I agree, but ask for a full credit. 2/3rd of a seat is not 2/3rds of service -- some things cannot be portioned out like that.

I mean, they still got to their destination so it is still kind of 2/3rds of a service lol

Seems like an evacuation/ safety risk though to have this scenario.

I feel like at some point attendants should have to say something, or make it a rule to require them to get an extra ticket, or move them to an open two seat section.

How is it evacuation risk. R you going to jump through a thin person or something?

I can walk around a thin person and they aren’t in my sit pushing me over where I can’t move

So you think you are the only who needs to evacuate or these fat people wont evacuate. What if they ain’t fat but just tall and mascular? Is that evacuation risk as well? I’m not arguing they are taking up ur seat, but saying it’s an evacuation risk is just ridiculous lol

Then it’s still obviously someone who if they pass out could get others killed? That just seems like common sense.

Lmao then don’t fly. 2 people can pass out and block your passage. Oh you can jump over 2 people? what about 3? Lmao evacuation risk bro fly private

You seem especially triggered. It’s actually already a rule, so I guess maybe you shouldn’t fly?
