Southwest Airlines Slims Down Its Two-Seat Rule For Fat People, Giving Them A Free 2nd Seat

When the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance challenges you, it’s apparently time to go on a crash diet.

So Southwest Airlines is dropping its requirement that really fat people pay for two seats.

The airline had recently put a new policy in place saying morbidly-obese passengers who took up more than one seat had to buy a second seat.

But once the fat lobbyists cried discrimination, airline officials caved.

Now they will allow really fat people needing two seats to pay for only one.

If a second adjoining seat isn’t available, the fat passenger will still be able to fly, but on standby til a twofer becomes available on a later flight.

Put up a W for people who weigh over 300 pounds.

Grab me another donut Martha. 🍩

That pic is a perfect example of eye pollution and a cringeworthy visual.

I’m 6’ 03”, wear a size 14 shoe and according to my MD, would be considered “anorexic” at 180 lbs. Anorexic…

Is it my fault that I live in a world of short people?
