36 May 2013 Fly and pay what you weigh Recently on a flight to NYC, a VideoAge reporter was assigned an aisleseatnexttoanobesepassenger whose body overflowed from the middle seat armrest, leaving only about enough space for a baby. Due to the narrowness of the Delta plane, the overweight passenger had to fully recline, also making the traveler behind himuncomfortable. Flight attendants were forced to move a few passengers around to balance the aircraft. Thanks to Samoa Air, these kinds of problems could, perhaps, be avoided. The airline is now charging passengers according to their weight. This way, the carrier can make seat assignments according to passengers’ size. L.A.
