I think they should have a special cage with oxygen and maybe a bag of crisps in the hold.

And ban alcohol on flights too. Nothing worse than sitting next to a drunk with beer or whiskey breath on a long flight. 

Reminds me of a long flight I had, where this bloke in the window seat was drinking beer heavily and would get up for a pezz every 15-20 minutes. After 4 or 5 times I said 'why dont we swap seats' and he said eff off I wont the window. So I said 'this is the last time - slow down the drinking'.  He ignored me. I again packed up my laptop and work documents and stood up to let him out - and did that again when he came back. 15 minutes later he wanted to go again - I said 'No - pezz in a bottle". He complained - I refused - he called the stewardess. When she arrived he went off - I said nothing - when she asked why I refused to move, I said he has had at least 8 beers and goes to the toilet every 15-20 minutes and has done that 6 times so far, which means I have top pack up all my gear to let him out, and again to let him back in. I said that I offered to swap seats but he was offensive and refused.  She asked him 'is all that true' and he said 'Yeh, so what - I can go to the toilet if I want'. She then said to me 'we have a spare seat in business class, would you like to move?'  She helped me pack and carry all my gear to business class, and she did not say another word to the ars****.  Winner winner chicken dinner. Sad thing is that less and less stewards are like that these days.

Been there done that - you can still here some screaming babies from there - one reason never wasted the money again.

I never speak to anyone sat next to me on a long haul flight so I certainly don't sit there smelling their breath. Extremely unlikely I will ever see them again so comfortable with that.

 

If it looks like I've got a 'talker' next to me I start twitching and making random noises for a few minutes. Seems to do the trick.

They make luggage fit a specified physical dimension. They can do the same with people. Have a sample seat sitting at the departure lounge. If someone can't fit in it or they spill over, they must buy two tickets.

That is a great idea - set the weight limit at 120Kgs and if they cannot fit in the 'trial seat'.

Fat POS should ban him.

Sometimes punctuation marks serve a purpose.

How many people wake up in the morning and think "in just a few hours I'll be spread out on an airplane aisle, police and airline officials surrounding me, filmed and recorded on people's phones with the video sent out across the world and becoming an international news story, as well as likely being banned from all future air travel." How do you escape from considering the shame and humiliation you will now live with for the rest of your life?

How ever that does not cover knee and leg room from the seat in front.

I used to get one just about every flight until I hit some magic age.  I wasn't flying much between 60-65, so I don't know what that magic age was.  Just that I'm too old now.

So, he got from the UK to Thailand without complaining, but on the way back, suddenly the seat is an issue?

 

it's clearly not a long haul flight

Watched the Video a few times and yes he is your typical salad dodging yank probably nipped into Burger King for a few Whoppers and a gallon of Coca Cola before his flight. Plus he is your average dress code yank bet he wears white knee socks.

IMO anyone over 120Kgs should be forced to buy 2 economy seats, or use business class. And children under 4 years old should be banned on all long-haul flights over 4 hours.

My children are in their fifties now but I never had any problems when they were under four. If their parents can control them there should be no problem but kids whose parents are accustomed with letting them run wild will have issues in a confined space with other people.

The people who  do this, have no concern for shame, nor are they embarrassed. A week does not go by when we see/hear of these people. This past week we had incidents on Aeroflot, Easy Jet and Spirit.  They need behavior modification and until they receive it  and are made a public example of, the incidents will continue.

Exactly the issue - my kids were never a problem as well.  This issue for me started many decades ago when on one long international over-night flight there was a very young child (2?) who literally screamed for hours and the mother refused to let the stewardess give the child anything (like Panadol) - she even got the Doctor on the plane to explain to the woman that the child was probably in pain from ear pressure problems and that if it was given some Panadol that would reduce the inflammation and pain. She still refused.  People were yelling at her - but she would not back down - her wimpy beta male husband was scared of her and said nothing.  When we got to the carpark after getting our luggage, guess who was there waiting in the queue at the pay machine - yep there she was. I told the wife and the kids to go to the car. I then gave her an absolute gobfull - I started it with the words 'You are a (female anatomy part)" I then proceeded to stand in her face and tell her what she was - when she started yelling back 'l I can do that I want' - I told her if she said another effing word I was going to punch the <deleted> out of her - and I meant it - and I said to the husband if he moves that I will kill him (he almost cried). I then gave her absolute sheite - she was crying, the kid was crying, the other older kid was crying, and the bloke did nothing.  I eventually calmed down (getting angry now thinking about it) and told her to take her kids and her useless (male anatomy part) and get the 'expletive' away from all of us and wait until we have all finished paying for the carpark.  She walked away. I then apologised to the people waiting at the pay machine - they all said thank you (they were on the same flight) and they looked at the woman - she then got the message I reckon 🙂

Nice to see the AN pansies,  in full bloom.

 

I commuted from Sussex to London by train for 28 years and believe me, whatever you've endured on a flight is nothing compared to being crushed into a seat on a commuter train with the coughing, the smell and the noise.

 

The big rule of flying, especially in economy is, get in, sit down and shut up.
