Hi folks .
Im fat but can still easily fit in an airline seat with no trouble so why should i pay more as the airline have already put their profit margin on the price of my ticket.
If i was so fat i needed two seats then they would have their profit margin x2

I do not mean to be rude in anyway, but when you say fat, what does that mean exactly?
People's interpretation of that word varies enormously. Obesity is a huge problem ( pardon the pun ) for airlines as they charge an excess for baggage that goes over a persons allowance by a couple of kilos, so if a 24 stone man boarded a plane, that is a bit more than a couple of kilos over the average mans body weight, and yet would pay the same price for his ticket as me.
You say fit into an airline seat with no trouble, but that then surely means you are not fat. Those seats are pretty small at the best of times and to be fat I would have said that part of your body would have infringed on the seat either side of you, and so that passenger. If you do not do that in any way, then I would not have you down as fat.
Well like i said i call myself fat not clinically obese but fat not 24 stone though!
I understand your point of if a persons size infringes on the person next to them ,but like i said f someone requires two seats then yes they should pay for two.
However im yet to find a form of public transport where your in space and comfort whatever your size.
I once again elude to the point that the airline has already made profit from my ticket price and the whole charging on being over on luggage is
a : A little bit of extra money making
b : A way to regulate the procedure so people are unable to take the piss with their luggage
D you know how much fuel a plane burns while still sat on the tarmac waiting for permission to start taing to the runway? Way more than the weight of cruising with the added weight of a few Chunks"
Apologies for the late response
