I kinda understand it. *If* someone's body doesn't fit within the confines of one seat, I'm not sure I see how they are entitled to two seat for the same price as the one seat.
Horribly embarrassing experience that must be though. It's why I avoided Southwest completely and totally, even though I don't think I was large enough to trigger the rule, I was not taking any chances.

Their policy is actually quite fair, IMO. You are only charged for the 2nd seat if the flight is full. -- nm

if someone doesn't fit in one seat, i understand it too. it seems mean, but you are paying for your space on a plane

yeah, someone has to cover the extra cost, and in these cases I don't think it should be the airline

That said, screaming crying babies should have to be seated out on the wing.

Or if you're using 1.5 seats, the person beside you should only have to pay half! -- nm

Southwest has some of the smallest seats compared to other companies I've found. -- nm
