DenetteWilford How about instead of requesting free seats she looks at PAYING for a larger seat or two of them. I am a larger person and I pay for first class for the larger seat. I have no desire to pay more because the airline has to now make up the money for loosing a seat for a fatty!!
DenetteWilford Everyone who can fit in the seats should have a free flight because we stay healthy. Why does she get a free seat because she overeats? Gimme a break! This is so dumb!!
DenetteWilford Obesity is a mental health problem! Some of these comments are disgusting. Maybe let’s charge by the person’s intelligence.
DenetteWilford Wendy’s serves salads too.
DenetteWilford Influencer. She'd influence more people if she turned to fitness.
DenetteWilford She's not large. She's fat.
DenetteWilford No. Diet and exercise solves the problem.
DenetteWilford Pay By Weight.
DenetteWilford Gimme a break - please lose some weight and don’t expect freebies!
DenetteWilford And I have a huge appetite so I demand double-sized portions funded by the restaurant.
DenetteWilford Fatty should either diet or pay for 2 seats
DenetteWilford There better be another fat soob on the other side of the plane to even it out
DenetteWilford Who the fuck does she influence? The all you can eat crowd? Fn hell. Boo hoo....your wide load cant fit in a seat....ya they have weight limits in elevators, maybe stick closer to the ground....perhaps a cattle car on a train.
DenetteWilford While we are on the subject, I recall approximately 16 months ago 'we need to protect the Healthcare system from the unvaxxed' so how about we protect the Healthcare system from people who don't care about their own health. Provinces are screaming for help, this helps.
DenetteWilford Honestly I feel for people who don’t fit into the average range (eg extraordinarily tall). However it is simply not practical or possible to accommodate the whole variety of earthly population on a privileged mode of transport. You have to accept your lot in life and buy 2 seats
DenetteWilford I couldn’t stop laughing at all the naughty comments omg
DenetteWilford Too many fat people in USA ! Go on Keto and leave us the f alone
DenetteWilford Ship her like a horse. Give her some space in the cargo hold.
DenetteWilford They should charge you by weight ! My luggage cannot weight more the 50 pounds why should your overweight be free
DenetteWilford Why should airlines lose revenue because someone is fat? Maybe tickets should be sold by the pound. 🙄
DenetteWilford She should pay for each seat she uses, just like everyone else. How does the public not see the logic. It’s all her fault she is that size. I didn’t feed her. I get that it’s a challenge but it’s her challenge, don’t make it everyone’s challenge.
DenetteWilford Hey... if I fly with 2000 hamburgers I have to pay extra to bring them along, she shouldn't be able the bring hers free just bevause she ate them!
DenetteWilford 'Influencer' lol. Only thing she influenced was the weight distribution on the plane.
DenetteWilford She should pay for 2 seats if she uses 2 seats. Or non-obese people should pay half for their one seat, which would promote weight loss.
DenetteWilford Unbelievable that we're now normalizing obesity as a society. This person will be dead in a decade's time from their unhealthy lifestyle.
DenetteWilford That’s a hard no.
DenetteWilford pay for 2 seats then
DenetteWilford How about... no?
DenetteWilford What about my compensation when your shit spills into my space on the plane?
DenetteWilford said it before, pre boarding weigh-in of yourself & luggage. weight = cost of fuel.
DenetteWilford The entitlement is obscene. Check yourself girl, Airlines owe you nothing.
DenetteWilford Gimme a break ffs
DenetteWilford Hilarious
DenetteWilford There is always that somebody demanding something lol life does not work that way 🤷♀️
DenetteWilford Oh Fack. Here we go.
DenetteWilford Airlines should have a couple larger seats for larger people....... at an increased rate.
DenetteWilford Not 1 single comment to support her 🤣🤣🤣
DenetteWilford People that are very tall should be accommodated for leg room not a overweight person. Height you cannot change, but your weight can be changed.
DenetteWilford Peoples expectations of travelling on Airlines is way too high.
DenetteWilford She would be a hazard in an emergency evacuation.
DenetteWilford Hit the treadmill
DenetteWilford Sorry girls but when you outweigh a man who's 6'2 there's something wrong with you. I see a lot of it everywhere I go. Someone who's 5'5 should never outweigh a guy who's 6'2 and 200 lb.
DenetteWilford So….down with capitalism?
DenetteWilford I’m scared that she is an influencer
DenetteWilford A person's weight and luggage can be measured and paid for accordingly. It's okay to be plus sized and take up several seats, just pay extra for the convenience. Why should skinny people be discriminated against for paying the same but taking up less space and lower fuel cost.
DenetteWilford Passengers and their baggage should be weighed together. My ticket should be cheaper than an obese person.
DenetteWilford Who is a actually influenced by that individual
DenetteWilford Then I guess that larger airline passengers can pay for 2 seats as well
DenetteWilford She should buy more seats.
DenetteWilford Put the fucking fork down, why the fuck should you get free extra seats?
DenetteWilford Really? So you get 2 seats (one for free) because you are morbidly obese. Ok pass the Coke.
DenetteWilford How about lose weight? As an 'influencer' you're teaching your followers to be lazy like you and to not take responsibility for your own lack of actions regarding your own health. gotothegym
DenetteWilford Im fat give me free shit is all I get from this
DenetteWilford She should be charged for extra fuel consumption.
DenetteWilford Go to the gym tubby
DenetteWilford Disgusting
DenetteWilford 😂😂😂😂
DenetteWilford If you need a plus sized seat, you should pay a plus sized fare.
DenetteWilford Go eat a salad calisse.
DenetteWilford either lose enough weight to fit in the seat of an airplane so you don’t spill over into your neighbors seat or pay for a second seat so that other paying customers don’t have to be squished and punished in the seat we purchased… why should airlines provide that second seat &…
DenetteWilford Just because something does not work for you doesn’t mean that the rest of people or businesses should fix the problem for a small number of people. Should Canada’s wonderland start changing all the rides for just a few people no.
DenetteWilford Lose some weight then talk!
DenetteWilford What about for tall people ! At least its not like tall people can just loose some height by been on a diet!
DenetteWilford Do tall people get the seats with extra legroom for free
DenetteWilford Nah, just lose weight. Other people don’t have to adjust for your poor life choices. Do better.
DenetteWilford They don’t have enough food on the plane to feed her
DenetteWilford I'm 6'5' flying for me sucks. I just deal with it
DenetteWilford Cargo hold?
DenetteWilford Shut up
DenetteWilford Start charging people by weight, so sick of these kinds of people that use their (self created) problems to try and get through life easier and get special treatment.
DenetteWilford Not much sympathy here...😒🙄
DenetteWilford airlines already do. it's called 'cargo'.
DenetteWilford In case of emergency how is she going to get out? No one will be able to help her plus she will block other people . Definitely safety issue here
DenetteWilford could put her in cargo
DenetteWilford looks like she's had one to many free meals
DenetteWilford How about demanding a free gym membership?
DenetteWilford Maybe not being able to fit on a plane means its time to start a fitness routine
DenetteWilford This should be a sign to lose some weight.
DenetteWilford Uhm... No. Short of medical condition that would subject a person to inclusivity like wheel chair access, additional support equipment the condition being handled for free. Sorry, you're taking up space for another person to travel. This is outrageously selfish thinking.
DenetteWilford Lose weight
DenetteWilford I had a very large person sit beside me in the aisle seat literally encroaching on my space, touching me and pushing me into the window of the plane for a 2 hour flight. I was smothered. Were my rights violated? What if an evacuation was necessary?
DenetteWilford I miss the 90's.
DenetteWilford When you ship a parcel they measure it and weigh it then charge you accordingly.
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford 🤣😂
DenetteWilford Why not take a cargo plane instead...couldn't help myself..
DenetteWilford Gravy is not a beverage
DenetteWilford How about she get a free gym membership? Put the fork down fatso
DenetteWilford This is a 100% solvable. Lose weight, stop shoving crap in your face and start taking care of yourself. Your butt will eventually fit into that seat.
DenetteWilford Pfft gahahahaha pay like the rest of us. Gen zers think everything is free
DenetteWilford Nope.
DenetteWilford Diet.
DenetteWilford Translation: 'I want you to take responsibility for my decisions'
DenetteWilford Tall people rise up! Demand more leg room.
DenetteWilford What next? I demand a bigger burger because I am plus size, and all other customers can subsidize the cost?
DenetteWilford The Supreme Court of Canada has made this ruling. In Canada - if you require a travelling companion or 2 seats - the airline must accommodate. And, it is acknowledged that this laces a $$ burden on the airline.
DenetteWilford What a nerve of porky!! Lizzo is their vocal activist to normalize being mortality obese as inclusive!
DenetteWilford If you take up 2 seats, you should pay for 2 seats. It's that simple.
DenetteWilford 😂
DenetteWilford Charge her by the pound.
DenetteWilford Girl you fighting the wrong battle
DenetteWilford It’s called “ozempic” , get on it or just don’t fly.
DenetteWilford Can't understand how gluttony is anyone else's fault. If you are trying to be fat it's your own problem.
DenetteWilford Buy two or go on a diet, there are weight limits as well.
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford She should be demanding to be feed salads for a while. Then there wouldn't be an issue for her to fit into the seat.
DenetteWilford Eat more - and you can have the whole plane.
DenetteWilford Ever sat beside a fat person on a plane it's terrible they should have there own section
DenetteWilford You take up two seats. Pay for it!
DenetteWilford Airlines let her on the plane and I have to pay for a overweight suitcase Where is the justice?
DenetteWilford Give me a break. Good lord…
DenetteWilford No fatties. 🚫
DenetteWilford A C130 Hercules couldn't lift this lard ass.
DenetteWilford How about going to the gym
DenetteWilford We pay “extra” for excess weight of our luggage, why don’t they pay extra for excess of their fat assess🤷♂️
DenetteWilford Change the world, or change your health. I guess we see what's easier.
DenetteWilford You wouldn't need a second seat if... Well you know
DenetteWilford Lose weight.. glutonny is a sin.. good over evil
DenetteWilford Tall people have to pay extra for seats with extra legroom. Obese people have to pay for an extra seat. Sounds fair to me.
DenetteWilford Plus size and morbidly obese are not the same thing. HER weight is HER problem to deal with. Wanna take up two seats Pay for two seats. Can’t believe this is a thing 🤡
DenetteWilford Miss piggy dupe
DenetteWilford They have a customer of size policy - need more than 1 seat pay extra
DenetteWilford Your right. She can share seats with my free oversized baggage.
DenetteWilford What ? she can’t fit in first class
DenetteWilford I’m 6’3 and don’t comfortably fit in airplane seats. Know what I do? I pay for the seats with more space. Which is what this entitled knob should do
DenetteWilford Funny how we don’t see as many obese passengers in Europe.
DenetteWilford These is enough there to feed a small village .
DenetteWilford Installing treadmills in airplanes might be more helpful….
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford That's what cargo is for... Or buy all the seats!
DenetteWilford Make her climb the stairs off the tarmac. If she makes it she wins
DenetteWilford 133 comments and 6 likes 😂
DenetteWilford If you need more space then the average person, pay for it.
DenetteWilford So, a FAT SECTION is needed? Double the cost of a single seat I would hope....
DenetteWilford Skip a meal, princess.
DenetteWilford I may be a little slow. I know what “plus size” means (fat) and what an “influencer” means. However, I am totally baffled by “ plus size influencer”. Does following this lady lead one to embrace obesity, and a full donut diet? Can she convince me to weigh 600 lbs? I’m baffled.
DenetteWilford Her coffin when she dies of diabetes will be plus size
DenetteWilford Easy solution is paying for two seats… but don’t expect other countries to accommodate your lack of self respect and control.
DenetteWilford Airlines should charge for seats by the pound. Why should I pay more so that a hefty hefty hippo gets a free ride?
DenetteWilford Should not fat shame but that said, heavy packages can cause the plane to shift and cause a crash, should always pay for extra weight
DenetteWilford Only thing she is influencing is the Earth's moment of inertia anytime she uses an elevator (likely a cargo elevator)
DenetteWilford Fat,fat,fat
DenetteWilford Cargo hold....but don't expect the meal.
DenetteWilford Here’s a policy: If you’re fat and take up two seats, you pay for two seats
DenetteWilford Airlines charge for oversized luggage - why not oversized passengers?
DenetteWilford Yeah no. How about you lose some damn weight. Or find another way to travel. No one is required to 'accommodate' your inability to stop stuffing your pie hole. Go ask a roller coaster park to find a way to let you ride next... That's not happening either.
DenetteWilford Lots of room in the cargo area 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DenetteWilford “Uniform customer of size.” They actually did, and then we got bigger.
DenetteWilford My husband & I are thin. Can we sit together on one seat and save some money? This will also leave more seats for the plus-size passengers.
DenetteWilford God help us! She needs to fly on her broomstick!! Maybe lose some fat cells
DenetteWilford Overweight people needing two seats should pay for two! Not try to squish into a seat and cause the person (me), next seat over, a very uncomfortable 5 hour flight!!!
DenetteWilford Pass on the sprinkles and stop blaming the world for your self made victimhood.
DenetteWilford She can just go on a diet and stop being a burden to society.
DenetteWilford I mean America is slated to become the obesity capital of the world
DenetteWilford I have a solution. Cargo hold and an oxygen mask.
DenetteWilford You need protection from that second helping, is what you need.
DenetteWilford This is getting to be too much. No you don’t get a special seat or a free seat. You pay for two seats because you can’t control yourself enough to not be inconvenient to people who get stuck beside you.
DenetteWilford I demand she doesn't fly
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford I should also have the choice not to sit beside land whales. I want my armrest.
DenetteWilford She weights more than the standard size luggage. She should be pay more to fly. FatTax
DenetteWilford Passing through Detroit, Chicago and LAX airports this past weekend reminded me that airlines must have challenges assisting and accommodating ALL passengers. They should indeed have policies that facilitate and represent society incl. the very tall, physically challenged etc.
DenetteWilford How about stop eating 36 cheeseburgers and a box of twinkies every day?
DenetteWilford Super size my fry's please.
DenetteWilford If I have to pay for an overweight bag... Why is her extra 150 lbs free ?
DenetteWilford Just ban fatties, problem solved.
DenetteWilford There are still cargo planes.
DenetteWilford It's is not the airlines fault you are to fat to fit in their seats.
DenetteWilford You're fat. Don't sugar coat it. Cause you'll eat that too.
DenetteWilford Fly cargo you hog
DenetteWilford Someone offer her a free gym membership.
DenetteWilford 😂🤣😂
DenetteWilford Charge her triple.
DenetteWilford That's not plus, that's exponential.
DenetteWilford Get rid of sugar, carbs and excise.
DenetteWilford 😂😂😂😂😂😂 🍟🍕🍖🌭🍔🍡🍿🍪🍭🥧
DenetteWilford I don't weigh 400 pounds so I am only paying HALF fare.
DenetteWilford Try losing some weight why do airlines pay for gluttony
DenetteWilford Or... the influencers should stop chuggin' them donuts
DenetteWilford Just kick them off if they can't fit into the seat or encroach on another paid seat, simple, you know you are fat so do something about it or buy two seats!
DenetteWilford Is this a fcuking joke?
DenetteWilford Obesity is unacceptable. Huge strain on public healthcare system and also highest percentage of all the COVID deaths and serious cases.
DenetteWilford Sue was on a flight I was on recently plane kept going in circles till Then gave her a aisle seat
DenetteWilford So does that mean the rest of us only pay half?
DenetteWilford So entitled! She literally expects planes be redesigned to accommodate her morbid obesity 🙄You would think being uncomfortable might motivate her to lose some weight ….
DenetteWilford How about pay by the pound?
DenetteWilford We are nothing more than cargo. Bill us by weight. Simple.
DenetteWilford Better lose some weight and get healthy instead of crying for free seats
DenetteWilford How about take care of yourself
DenetteWilford Choices
DenetteWilford I totally agree - airline tickets should be charged by weight because that’s what they are moving. Right now thin people subsidize heavier people because it costs more to transport a heavier person. These people were looking for a free accommodation- this is what they’ll get.
DenetteWilford Being fat is not healthy.
DenetteWilford She should buy her own plane then
DenetteWilford Tell her to look at some of the other carriers that might be better suited to accommodate. For example, DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc.
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford I have no sympathy for fat people. They are killing themselves and its gross to look at🤮
DenetteWilford Lose weight.
DenetteWilford Maybe she should travel by cube van?
DenetteWilford Tall people pay extra for more legroom. Or put their knees in their face. Overweight people can pay extra to sit in first class.
DenetteWilford They should certainly apply a discount if you are unfortunate enough to sit next to her.
DenetteWilford That carbon footprint though…. Just the pure consumption required to maintain a “body of size”…. Then putting that up in the air. We’re trying to save the climate here.
DenetteWilford If you take up two seats, you should pay for two seats.
DenetteWilford Charging by weight is the way to go from here on.
DenetteWilford free seats? what ? protection ?
DenetteWilford Lose weight!! ...problem solved. Be healthy not fat.
DenetteWilford My nightmare is getting stuck between two of them in coach.
DenetteWilford enough lol
DenetteWilford Maybe try FedEx or DHL
DenetteWilford Walk to your destination. Thanks me later.
DenetteWilford 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DenetteWilford Take a boat, they have bleacher like seats
DenetteWilford Im demanding free seats too. Everyone should :)
DenetteWilford She should walk. Walking will do wonders for her. Or pay for extra seat to accommodate her fat ass.
DenetteWilford According to the Canadian Obesity Network annual direct healthcare cost due to obesity is projected to rise to $8.8 billion by 2021. Estimated annual economic burden attributed to obesity is now a 25% higher compared to that of tobacco smoking.
DenetteWilford If you are too large to fit in one seat you should be respectful of other people's space and buy 2 seats together
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford Ok, let’s just make every seat double size and double the price. We’ll see how many fat influencers are still interested.
DenetteWilford Next she'll demand free food since she needs to eat an extra four lbs of food a day...
DenetteWilford OK, so lose weight?🤷♂️
DenetteWilford Lose weight and you'll fit. Nobody should aim for diabetes
DenetteWilford So buy a second seat. You want it, you PAY.
DenetteWilford She should buy her own jumbo jet!
DenetteWilford More jet fuel 🤣
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford Sounds like a you problem not everyone else's. Can't fit? Lose weight. Otherwise park that fat ass in the cargo hold.
DenetteWilford So my wife should pay a quarter of your ticket price then.
DenetteWilford Time to hit the gym fatass
DenetteWilford Control your eating and see a psychiatrist if necessary, because you clearly have problems
DenetteWilford Airlines should respond by charging by passenger weight.
DenetteWilford Morbidly obese woman who refuses to deal with her obvious weight issues, demands everyone else accommodate her. That would be a no.
DenetteWilford Then by comparison, would a skinny person only have to pay for half a seat.
DenetteWilford 600 lb woman
DenetteWilford Any airline that even ponders such insanity should plan for a bud light level boycott Especially when everyone pays extra for additional luggage due to weight restrictions If anything airlines should consider charging by total weight of passenger& luggage
DenetteWilford Loose weight fat ass
DenetteWilford Maybe they should charge by the cubic foot of space taken up...
DenetteWilford Lose weight !
DenetteWilford Maybe have self control over your eating.
DenetteWilford Demand a salad
DenetteWilford Influencer of what
DenetteWilford
DenetteWilford Get lost. Go lose weight.
DenetteWilford How about a diet and exercise
DenetteWilford What needs to be addressed is the obesity epidemic with young people.
DenetteWilford Fat bottomed girls may “make the rocking world go 'round” but not in the sky. If you’re that big you can’t sit in an economy seat you shouldn’t fly.
DenetteWilford What’s unacceptable is people walking around that fat
DenetteWilford Take some responsibility for your own poor health!!
DenetteWilford There's always the cargo hold.
DenetteWilford Or use fedex overweight packaging
DenetteWilford Loose the fat
