The HuffingtonPost is reporting that United Airlines has a new policy for super-sized individuals.
passengers who are too large to fit into a single seat, buckle the seatbelt, or unable to put down the armrests, will be forced to buy a second ticket or upgrade to a premium class, where the seats are larger. If a flight is full and an obese passenger is unable to buy another seat, they will be bumped from the flight.
Over at Twitter, some of the reaction:
Andy_Squirrel: reads that United Airlines is charging double for fat passengers.....this makes me feel slightly better about paying for checked baggage
