Because the overhead of weighing passengers and their luggage for every flight would completely wreck the logistics and make it both unpleasant to fly and unprofitable to operate.
Have you considered that instead of blaming the person for not fitting in the tiny teeny tiny shrinking seats, that you should actually be criticizing airlines for shrinking the seats repeatedly to where they are very small and close.
I take the train all the time. I fit just fine. I’m 5ft and plump but not obese.
I get on an airplane and my knees almost touch the seat in front of me. (Again, I’m 5ft 3")
The sides of the airplane seat push into both the sides of my hips.
My arms touch my neighbors arms. And I have narrow shoulders.
Like it’s insane.
And all I hear over and over is people complaining they have to ride airplanes with fat people.
You don’t hear people complaining about fat people on trains.
It’s an airlines created problem.
They are laughing at us bickering about who is too fat and who should be charged double.
Here is what is going to happen.
They are going to charge anyone with hips bigger than 32 inches for two seats. And then still sell that empty seat to someone else.
Why don’t airlines charge for the combined weight of the passenger plus their luggage?

Charging fatties more would be the quickest way to start a revolution in the USA, approved
Because that’s a terrible idea lmao
Very illegal
Hmm…if someone spills over onto someone else’s seat, they should have to pay for a second ticket though…
Blame the airline for seats that are too small, not passengers for being too large.
Fucking aye

You know that’s what they will do.
No one wants to go back to when first class was effectively the cheapest ticket price.
If they cant fit into one seat, then yes the airline can require they buy two.
