Re: Charging passengers by weight
The person behind is absurdly cramped, your head is practically in their lap space.
It really is the Airlines' fault but passengers could show some consideration since the Airlines won't do anything. If your a big fella or have medical issues then can't be helped I suppose. Only choice is for the person to also recline fully .

You're well within your rights. If the person behind doesn't like you doing what your seat is designed to do then that is entirely their problem.

Re: Charging passengers by weight
I'm with Boonhauer on this one. Whilst of course the seats are designed to recline, it's very selfish to not consider the comfort of the passenger behind before doing so. What if they're trying to eat something off their table at the time? It becomes virtually impossible when the seat in front is reclined?

Otherwise, recline that shit.

Re: Charging passengers by weight
Always feel sorry for the poor ill-informed who end up with a seat that doesn't recline (the ones with the bulkhead behind). That must be shit. Narrowly avoided that for my 9-hour flight to Casablanca, but thanks to seatguru.com I was ok.

I fully expect the seat in front to come back at me. I only get annoyed if they don't lie back, either use it or straighten up (what I do)

Re: Charging passengers by weight
Personally I'd ratehr they do something about people travelling with annoying children, they should be charged more and the extra money taken from the ticket price of the poor sods sat nearby. Kids piss me off far more than fat people. Oh and if they could charge smelly people too.

Re: Charging passengers by weight
what annoys me most is when young kids who are in the bassinet seats at the front so have loads of leg room (but being small kids they cant use it) and then they recline the seat but then sit up.....

What about an extra charge for the ones that get drunk and obnoxious ?

Ugly people should pay more. And people who speak with fake posh accents.
