Being over 6 and a half feet tall, like fakeboy the person in front of me doesn't always get to utilize the reclining mechanism of his chair. I usually ask for a bulk head row or an exit row as they have a few extra inches. But I know what it's like to sit next to a large person. On a 12 hour bus ride, there was about 1 person in every seat on the bus, but the bus seats allow about 2 people, usually. So, this very large lady, on of the nicest lady's I've ever met by the way. She was well over 300 pounds and just under 6'0 I'd say, but I was already having to sit diagnal(sp) in the seat because of my legs. She decided however that she was going to be my companion for the 12 hours trip . Needless to say when the trip was over and I unfolded myself I had to do a lot of stretching to recover. Also just a note after the first few hours of a bus ride people tend to develop an odor.... But as to the paying double for a ticket, I'm not quite sure that's fair. You could sit 2 big people in a row that fits 3 and maybe charge them an extra 50% instead of the full 100% extra. Seems like it would just take a little flag like <supersized> in the computer or something...
