I am sad to say what I'm about to, but it is the truth. Airlines are a business...their objective is to make money. And the way they do that is to sell space on an airplane. If you require more space, there really isn't, in my opinion, a reason for them not to charge you for that space. It's what they sell, for goodness sake. It would seem to me, however, that they could be a tad more humane in they way they size up the situation.

I flew next to my mom recently. She is larger than I was before surgery...and quite frankly, it was awful. I had no place to rest my arm and she encroached on me the whole flight across country. It was intolerable...and I love her. I can only imagine what it would have been like for a total stranger.
