Obese may have to pay twice on KLM planes

Airline Air France – KLM is to force very overweight people to buy two tickets if they can not fit comfortably in one chair, news agency ANP reports.


‘It is new policy. The reason is flight safety. This way we can guarantee it and offer better comfort,’ a spokeswoman told ANP. The new rule will come into effect on April 1.
From that date, passengers on full flights who do not fit into one chair will be offered a second one at a 25% discount. If the flight is not full, they will not have to pay for the second ticket, ANP said.
