Squeezed Out of My Seat - Flight 365
I was seated (28B) next to a morbidly obese passenger (28A) who could not fit into one seat. Her body overflowed onto my seat and was against my hip, arm and shoulder. There was a passenger on the other side of me (28C), so I couldn't lean to that side.
I was fortunate to find an empty seat in another row, but the flight attendants seemed oblivious to my situation and only allowed me to change seats after asking about it. I was lucky that there was an empty seat on the flight!
Why wasn't the morbidly obese passenger given two seats? Why was the seat adjacent to her offered as 'available'?
What would I have done if I hadn't taken the initiative to find another seat?
I have heard about other passengers being displaced due to morbidly obese passengers, but this is the first time it happened to me.
I didn't want to be rude to the morbidly obese passenger, but I feel that Alaska should not have sold 1/2 seat to me at full price!
