[QUOTE="caveeagle, post: 13182153, member: 128063"] I travel a lot for work, (2-3 trips/month). I have been sticking with American lately because of my companies partnership program, but this week I was on a Delta flight, just because it worked out better. So, I going to my seat. (Isle Seat in a row of 3). The guy in the window seat is a nice round 300# guy, that has the armrest up and has spread a full 3-4" into the center seat. So I am thankfull that I am in the isle seat, and pray for a small-ish person to take the center seat on this over-sold flight. Now, understand, I am no small gut either! I am 6'2", 265# with wide shoulders. BUT! I can fit in the FREAKIN' seat with both armrest down, can buckle the normal seatbelt and pull 8" of slack to tighten it! So I am not anti big guys here! FWIW Anyway, a few moments later and another ~300# manatee barells down the isle and informs be that he is seated between us in the middle. As I get out of the way, guy#2 pulls up my (our)armrest, sits down and is easily 6 full inches into my seat! To get my seatbelt, I had to ask him to lift his freakin @$$ a bit and hand it to me. So, beleive it or not, I could actually still fit my @$$ in the small remaining space, but I had to lean into the Isle a good 6-8" to keep this 1.5 hr flight from turning into a "date". To make it more fun, a delay had us sitting on the tarmac for 45m in the FL heat without the engines running. ~HOT~ Onece in the air, I get hit in the shoulder by the beverage cart twice, while the flight attendent bitches at me to move out of the isle. I snap right back at here with "where the hell to you want me to move to?" By this point, I am not even trying to be polite to anyone. Ive got manatee man-sweat all over my left pant leg, and my sense of humor is LONG gone. I am so FREAKN' pissed about this crap. (a)I should not have to pay for the 25% of my seat that was incaccessible to me! (b)If you are to freaking huge to fit in a normal seat, you should buy two seats, or pay for first class, where you have more room. I am planning to call Delta Cust Service and rant a little to them. Probably wont make any difference, but maybe they will comp be a few points or an upgrade or somethin'. Sometimes air travel SUCKS! [/QUOTE]
