Reply #27: This happened to me once flying from LA to Chicago

[undeterred]

I found my seat and saw that the obese man's body was half way into it. There was no way I was going to fit my body into half a seat. I kept walking toward the back of the plane where a flight attendant was standing and I told her about it. She told me to sit in her seat and she would figure it out.

She never said anything to the obese passenger. It turned out that I sat in her seat for the whole flight and there were just enough seats so that she could sit down when everyone had to. But it really wasn't fair. That passenger could not fit into a regular seat, and his body flew in two seats for the price of one- at least as far as I know.
