But to be honest just smacks of airlines taking the piss, and using this as an excuse to increase cabin seats for the petite type passenger. posted by: grigori777 (reply) post date: 02.27.04 (8:17 am) well, what about the people who you can see their bones? they gonna make sure they are really bones? lol posted by: SamAdams (reply) post date: 02.27.04 (8:33 am) airlines are becoming bizarrely invasive ... walking through the metal detector is fine-- searching if the metal detector triggers an alert is fine -- but there is a limit ... one wonders if this would make anyone safer after all plastic explosives don't weigh much! posted by: ayaddanak (reply) post date: 02.27.04 (8:57 am) Whoa! I fly alot and I'm not one of those petite passengers. I'm a dragon. I way a ton and then some. Does this mean they can deny me from the plane even after I have purchased my ticket? posted by: ladyblog (reply) post date: 02.27.04 (3:25 pm) I shall never fly again! I'm not stepping on a scale for nobody!

Those who take up more than one seat worth of space should pay for more than one seat. So make the metal detectors the width of a seat and those that cannot walk through without turning must buy additional real estate. I don't mean them any disrespect, but if I pay for my seat, I feel that I should be the only one in it. I shouldn't have to lean into the other side to afford my seat mate more room to spread out. posted by: dairaranzir (reply) post date: 02.28.04 (10:41 am) Reply to: ayaddanak Oh come on, you're not THAT big! Hehehehe. posted by: danil (reply) post date: 02.28.04 (11:51 am) I step on a scale for no one. That's alright. I'll take the train. |
