BREAKING NEWS – Dallas, Texas – Low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines is being celebrated by “passengers of size” on TikTok after they discovered they can request complimentary seats – one or two, depending on needs – to accommodate their girth.
Customers whose bodies “encroach” past the armrest are entitled to an extra seat, according to Southwest’s inclusion policy. They are currently one of the few, if not the only, airlines to offer free seats to larger passengers.
To make up for the lost seat, Southwest said they will force two people that are extremely slender (preferably anorexic) into sharing the exact seat. The flight team will then try to effort to make the seating arrangements, potentially moving other passengers around for the “unplanned accommodation”. Plus the attendants will honor the likely request from plus-size passengers for additional snacks.
