Can I interest you in a relevant web site? "YouParkLikeAC**t.com" I'm sure you can work out the missing two letters, but it's definitely NSFW!

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No, it is not. It is one person, occupying two travelling-spaces. The limiting factors for an airplane are room and weight. It does not cost them less fuel, simply because some bureaucrat decided that the universe is not politically correct.

If I were CEO of the airlines, I would install arm rests that did not go up. "Yep, we gave you 22A and 22B. Good luck!" Or maybe I'd give two seats in separate isles...

Shipping _one_ vehicle with e.g. a Ferry or Train then costs always the same....whether it is a passenger car or a truck...? I have my doubts.

How can I possibly respond to this thread without offending obese people? :sigh:

That's a bit extreme - surely separate aisles[^] would work just as well? ;P

Free meals on flights? What year is this? 1975?

Room on a train or ferry is cheaper compared to an airplane; room is always sparse, and even baggage is checked for weight. And yes, you are talking about "one". Now define that; if my vehicle occupies twice the room and weight, does it count as one? If yes, than mass-transportation of those items becomes cheap; link them and claim it is a single car with lotsa wheels.

Don't laugh, I have seen this done, a big guy purchased 2 seats next to each other and the allocation then gave him 2 seats in separate isles. He was not amused.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
