At my absolute skinniest the current plane seats wouldn't work. No, at 6'4 and 230 that isn't normal sized but it's not super obese. Hell even now I fit even less comfortably - however the issue isn't my ass or gut taking up room in other seats, it's my damn shoulders. So to be polite I have to sit with the hunched in for the entire flight. I want higher prices and more room. If you want cheap take a bus. I could do first now and get that sure except the boss
I don't have the patience to watch the video so I'll take your word for it that she was a nasty woman. That said, getting stuck b/w two folks that are too large for regular coach seats is unacceptable service from the airline and they really ought to deal with it. Implement a human size-limit fixture just like for carry-on baggage. If you don't fit, you gotta go into checked baggage
If you're not big enough to deal with two fatties then Darwin comes into play. Law of the jungle. Plus I'll eat your friggin smoked almonds while using your shoulder as an armrest.
All in jest Generally, I hate skin on skin from a plane-mate stranger. So lately I've taken to just embracing it and over-responding by doing a little rubbing / nuzzling action to whatever big-boy or girl is next to me. Creeps 'em out
