You repeat this refrain. Are you not aware that Business Class has wider seats and better overall conditions that Economy?

Are you not aware that Business Class has >wider seats and better overall conditions that Economy? I'm not sure what you mean by "better overall conditions" but paying large sums of money for a business seat (or even first class) does not guarantee that your flight will be either comfortable or peaceful, although I have always accepted that both classes of seat usually provide a wider seat. But there are plenty of uncouth slobs with loads-a-money who fly BC or FC and drag their screaming shitty kids along with them or even cause a big rumpus themselves. As I previously said, some celebrities come to mind. I know of an individual who always flies FC because he's a member of the most important family in Dubai. On one occasion he was drunk on board and caused a rumpus in FC and the FAs threatened to divert the plane to dump him off. Imagine the aggravation to other FC passengers while all that went on. As a friend said to me some while ago "you might upgrade from economy to FC to get away from screaming shitty kids and slobs, only to find that you're seated close to a FC screaming shitty kid or a rich slob." I don't know what the solution to this general problem is but I'm sure that airlines do little or nothing about it. Perhaps all passengers with kids should be located in one section of the plane where they can be more easily controlled? I dunno. But this problem, coupled to seats which are too narrow for larger than average or obese people have collectively turned flying into an endurance test for ordinary decent folk.

The widest part on my body is my shouldered, followed by my hips. Weight gain or loss will change neither of those significantly on my body type. -- Insert something clever here. |
