Airlines face backlash over policy requiring passengers to buy 2 seats if they're too big

Several airlines are facing backlash over policies that require larger passengers to purchase two seats on flights.

American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines are among the carriers that have policies in place that require passengers who can't fit into a single seat to purchase a second one at a discounted rate. The policies also allow for a refund for the second seat if the flight isn't full.

The issue has gained attention on social media, with some passengers sharing their stories of being forced to purchase a second seat, even when they didn't think they needed it.

The policies have been in place for years, but they've come under renewed scrutiny as airlines have struggled to navigate the pandemic, with many facing financial losses due to reduced travel demand.

As airlines continue to grapple with the fallout from the pandemic, it's unclear if the policies requiring larger passengers to purchase two seats will remain in place, or if airlines will look for other solutions to the issue.
