We're not going to have a discussion here about whether or not you're entitled to your full seat on the airplane. Airlines have made the seats so that NO ONE fits them comfortably. I'm 4'11" and I get my knees banged by the seat in front of me. I've had very tall men sit next to me and have been squished by their legs because they have no place to put them and airlines don't try to charge tall people for two seats. Flying sucks for everyone. It is not the fault of fat people.
