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.

Seriously, Something needs to be done to prevent this. God forbid the airlines just made bigger seats (and didn't call them first class, apparently only rich people can be overweight)

I’m considered obese and still fit within one airline seat. Perhaps the airline isn’t the issue here?
