Praise be to China's Covid-Zero Policy
Recently I was seated beside a passenger who needed more space to sit and was almost taking away some on my space which made a 4 hour flight very uncomfortable. As flight was full I couldn't change my seat. Do I have any option under such situations like compensation from airline ? Are there any restrictions on max space which can be taken by passenger in a flight.

Just to add my question is more from my rights perspective. I understand the situation for other person, it's very difficult for him.

i spent a Southwest flight next to a severely troubled child that screamed at the top of his lungs for 2.5 straight hours while squeezing my hand. His father who was taking him for treatment was extremely apologetic and I don't blame them but also, literally nothing on a flight can ever annoy me again probably

I think you have the right to complain to the flight attendant. If you make a big enough stink about it, you could get the person who is trying to get you to pay for them to use your seat kicked off the plane.

If you don't fit in the seat then you should have to pay for another.

maybe you can get them to use an aisle seat and shift all of their heft that way?

Dress the story up a little bit and go to the news like ot only did the airline make your flight uncomfortable, when you complained about it the flight attendant called you a "whiny rear end dickweed" loud enough that all the other passengers heard that and everyone started pointing at you and laughing like "hahaha whiny rear end dickweed, what a fuckin idiot! everyone spit on the whiny rear end dickweed with me" and they did and by the time the plane landed you were soaked in spit and they rolled you down the dirty aisles and put cigarettes and cigars out on you and when the plane landed they put you one one of those luggage carts and rolled you through the terminal like "emergency! Emergency! we have to get this clown to the circus right away!" and then threw the cart down the escalator and you flipped over a few times and landed in the fountain thing and while you were flipping through the air you had diarrhea and it all rinsed out into the fountain and now the fountain in the airport was spraying diarrhea water everywhere

I feel like that'd get on the news and then you might get some free things

I'm 6'4 and broad shouldered, my shoulders literally do not fit between the arm rests on an airplane seat, recently I've also become overweight, which doesn't hurt that much but doesn't help.

Flying is literally torture for me.

I think if you are are built to the dimensions of a Smart car you should be allowed to stay in the cargo area and be properly secured.

Give them a blanket, a water jug, a piss jug (not giving them piss, it's for them to piss into), several inflight meals in arms reach, check with the pilot the literal giant you are transporting isn't throwing off the balance too much positioned where they are, then secure them with the ratchet tie-downs.

Saw a video once of a military transport plane doing a very steep takeoff and one of the armored vehicles inside broke free and all the poo poo slammed to the back, and things went bad very fast.

Secure your loads.

I think God would kinda look down on filthy walking peasants. It's like "guys, I gave you smart brains, figure it out."

God might be cool with using horses but maybe she was like "you were just supposed to admire their beautiful forms, don't use them for work animals!"

God would definitely be cool with canoes.

"Travel a thousand miles by train and you are a brute; pedal five hundred on a bicycle and you remain basically a bourgeois; paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature."

Also kayaks are probably fine too.

1: God is not a woman because the bible clearly states that Adam was made in his image.

2: God didn't give humanity intelligence, humans stole it by eating fruits from a tree they weren't supposed to.

People really need to stop trying to liberalize a 7000 year old religion and simply dismiss it as the regressive trash it is.

As for the topic at hand, airlines need to get some cargo planes solely for flying around all the fat people.

You dig that the idea of a creator doesn't necessarily have to be Christian gospel, right, Jorp avatar person?

If we look at it from a human perspective, it really makes more sense for us for the Creator Whatever to have a more female aspect.

Creation, raising, caring, etc.

But the creator could be a ball of gloop filled with dicks and vaginas playing their version of The Sims, so who loving knows, and it doesn't matter anyway.

I'll say my thanks to Her.
