Jean-Jacques Jauffret, a French scriptwriter, told Reuters on Wednesday he had felt humiliated by Air France staff who had measured his waist in public at New Delhi airport in 2005 and decided he was too big for a single seat.

I mean which passenger would want to be sitting next to a guy who takes off half his seat and his handrest??? I think Southwest make overweights pay for 2 seats and I think thats fair enough.

I guess you are right. A person purchasing two tickets should be entiltled for two meals. _________________ Save Maharashtra!

Needless to say its yes... But about that shame and all stuff one man would take just one... ask for some refils and eventually make it as good as two. A Japenese sumo wrestler was once travelling from BOM to DEL... he had arrived from HKG in CX, the engg had already merged the two seats by removing the armrest from between and something... and that man took meals equivalent to 4 seats!!! _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld A Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox Audio Producer!!!

Cheers Dude it was the first seat in the J class... you expect a Sumo wrestler from Japan visiting India for quite a famous tournament as a guest would be offered Y class? Even if they did he qould have himself upgraded it... _________________ http://www.myspace.com/avsatsworld A Walt Disney and 20th Century Fox Audio Producer!!!
