Most likely start on basic economy with a maximum weight, and you can by flex tickets that cover excessively weight more seat space, as it should be. 

That's right rather than buy excess baggage allowance, buy excess fat allowance

Start your own topic by all means if you want to propose higher fares for people over a certain weight.

umm, he started this topic.

 

I realize reading is tricky, but what the hell is wrong with you?

Like I say "eventually" people will pay based on weight, read the post

Source, trust me, bro! 

Say no more.

 

Always enjoyable having someone well built next to you no matter the reason. If you are bigger than normal, book a bigger seating for yours and the next one to you.

What about noisy children? What about rude passengers in general? 

IMO children should be on dedicated flights so people that don't like bratty sprogs ruining their flight experience can avoid them.

Only ever had one rude passenger next to me and the hostie placed me elsewhere then.

Almost all my hundreds of flights have been a few hours of enduring the seat and eating bland food without any problems.

When they made seat back movies available it made the time pass more quickly.

Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem for the unfortunate placed next to them.

You can tell noisy Children to behave and be quiet , you cannot tell a fat person to go on a diet and slim down a bit 

I'm not so sure about that... On other threads a number of the 'same complainers' argue that there should be 'adults only' flights on which children are banned.

Exactly... IF Airlines were to charge more for heavier people it does nothing for the others in the same cabin, it simply profiteering. 

 

IF a person is so physically large to fit in an economy class seat, then they can't fit and thats that. 

If they can fit, then they can fit, and thats that. 

 

If someone is unfortunate enough to sit next to an overwhelmingly obese person who can fit in an economy class seat with the arms down, then thats just tough - its not as if this is a frequent occurrence. 

 

On about 34 flights per year - this is not an experience I have had to encounter - I've sat near extremely large people but there has been a seat between us. 

 

I've sat next to 'large people' but none so large that they were spilling into my seat - I think some of the comments here take the hyperbolic example to exaggerate and strengthen their position. 

They should only do it at the gate on a scale where a spring comically pops out and goes boiiing -when weighing anyone over a hundred kilo's.
