Travel expert Simon Calder explains if the rules around seating on planes can be altered for plus-size passengers.

@SimonCalder Ah, here we go again! If you can’t fit in the seat, maybe it’s time to rethink your travel plans instead of expecting the whole plane to budge for you.

@SimonCalder I've paid for a whole seat, I don't expect to share it. Surely if you can't fit in the seat there should be safety concerns about how quickly someone could evacuate in an emergency and the safe evacuation of all the other passengers in the worse case scenario.

@SimonCalder Simple solution.. Weigh the passenger plus luggage. I can take on a full case and have 1 seat, she can take on a flannel and has to buy 2 seats. Simple

@SimonCalder I want more space - actually, no one next to me so I buy business class. Do the same, stop expecting an easy choice

@SimonCalder Diet, would help

@SimonCalder She shouldn’t be allowed to fly…..she’s a health and safety risk to other passengers getting off the aircraft in an emergency Going on a diet would fix the situation.

@SimonCalder We need a Fat Airlines with half the seating capacity. When you book a flight you put your weight in and upload a photo so AI can see if you're a porker. Offer salads only as in flight meals

@SimonCalder If your luggage is over the 23kg limit, you are charged more. Why not the same for passengers? You have to pay more for extra legroom, but you don't get tall folk complaining and they can't change their height.

@SimonCalder Common sense has to prevail. A reminder that once we used to have a sense of humour.

@SimonCalder More woke shite! Either pay for another seat or go on a diet fatty!!! Simple
