Airline Makes Obese Passenger Buy Two Seats - But They Are Not Next To Each Other

[Initech]

Les Price, 43, had to pay for the extra space when flying to Ireland and back as airline policy dictates anyone over 20 stone has to book the extra space.

But when he got to the airport the staff didn’t seem to have any idea about the rules and on the journey home his seats were two rows apart.

He had already faced embarrassment on his flight out when he was allocated an aisle seat and a window seat, with another passenger in the middle.

"When I got to the airport I had to explain to all the staff why I had two tickets, they didn't have a clue," he said.

2. Les Price had to pay the more price.

Not good grammar either. There's no justice in this world.

3. That is about as stupid as it gets.

But it does seem like an easy fix if anyone thinks it through. I know that I would be willing to give up my seat next to him to use the seat two rows back.

But I have to say that this sounds like a scam when the airline does it this way.
