Fatsos Can Now get an entire Row for free on Southwest

 Southwest Airlines is being celebrated for its new policy giving those losing the battle of the bulge a full row of seats for the price of one.

Southwest says that passengers whose bodies “encroach” past the armrest of the seat they purchase are entitled to an additional seat, free of charge.

Southwest told Fox Business that passengers of the extra portly variety “have the option of purchasing just one seat and then discussing your seating needs with the Customer Service Agent at the departure gate. If it’s determined that a second (or third) seat is needed, you’ll be accommodated with a complimentary additional seat.”

The policy states, “Customers who encroach upon any part of the neighboring seat(s) may proactively purchase the needed number of seats prior to travel to ensure the additional seat(s) is available… The purchase of additional seats serves as a notification of a special seating need and allows us to adequately plan for the number of occupied seats onboard.”
