Air France: Fat Passengers Must Pay Double


After the recent debates about whether overweight people should pay more, Air France-KLM has taken action.

Beginning this April, the airlines will charge fat people for the cost of a second seat. Actually, in addition to the full cost of the first seat, they will need to pay 75% of the cost of the second seat.

"We have to make sure that the backrest can move freely up and down and that all passengers are securely fastened with a safety belt," said spokeswoman Monique Matze who added the decision was made for "safety" reasons.

People who cannot fit into a single seat are fastened by slotting the belt tip of one seat into the plug of the next - stretching over both seats.
