As we may all know obese people pay more for airplane tickets. If they need more room they are required to purchase two airline tickets as oppose to one. What are your views on this????

wHaT a discriminating prejudicial and stupid imposition...those people/businesses who where granted public service lisence and permits are the one who should adjust to the situation(not those availing persons)...public service does not descriminate as it treats every person with equality so long as they are paying for the service...from what country are you friend?

(Im from the Philippines)Ok i think your laws on transportation and grant of public convineice and lisencings has provisions with regards to impositions on these kind of transportation or the FAA...certainly it would be discrimination to make such condition/regulations ...if indeed these impositions are real it runs contrary to your fundamental law(constitution) on equality if rights as to availment ot public service...and the provisions(amendments)on public service...you should refer to this laws...it will help...you may even ask congress to look into a matter...its your right as a citizen.peace!

I think its really sad that obese people have to pay more for certain things... I mean, if someone is big enough to take up two seats in a airplane, then I guess the airlines have to look at it as two seats, two people... I really don't know how to look at it. I would think that by now they would give exception with obese people.. But i guess if they did, they would have to give other exceptions.. So it is what it is..
