According to a recent news report, most Australians believe obese airline passengers should pay for two seats so they don’t take up space from the people sitting next to them, according to a survey released yesterday.
Sixty-three per cent of the 2,810 respondents wanted “excessively overweight” people to be charged for an extra seat, according to the survey for travel company, totaltravel.com.
The issue resonated strongly with travellers, especially because seat space was at a premium since the launch of low-cost carriers, said totaltravel.com global marketing manager Paul Fisher.
“Airlines should be working out a solution to the problem, whether it is discounted second seats or speciallydesigned chairs for larger people.”
