I would LOVE to have 1 1/2 or 2 seats to myself. In fact, when flights are less than full, I'm the first one to look around for where I can move...and I'm far from obese.<BR/><BR/>If they require more than their seat, then they should pay for it.<BR/><BR/>How many times have you been sitting in your seat and you see a big person walking up the aisle toward you...do you cringe and pray that they pass you by??
