>>>the usual promotional rubbish . Most comfortable plane yet etc. Wait till they start reducing the leg room to get more seats in. You've always got a clear choice whatever the plane . Pay lots of money or be stuck in like sardines in a can.

>>Reduce legroom? Who needs legroom? Pretty soon they'll have everyone hanging like laundry from the ceiling so all you need is belly and foot room in front and butt room behind. That way they'll put 550 in the 330 seat version. Of course, whales - I mean blimps - I mean lard-a$$s - I mean weight-challenged individuals (for the PC crowd) will have to purchase three or four seats to be able to hang properly.

If the flight is booked to full capacity, then he should have to purchase a 2nd seat. Looking at the photo, there are two empty seats side-by-side directly behind him so why didn't he move to those two seats? I know that everyone has to be in their assigned seat when the aircraft first boards, but surely the flight attendants could have allowed him to move to a location with two empty seats if they were available?
