An American businessman is considering asking for a compensation from an airplane company since he was forced to stand for the whole journey from Anchorage to Philadelphia- seven hours of flight.
The man, 57 year old Arthur Berkowitz had in fact the surprise of finding his seat neighbor a person of about 180 kilograms, who made impossible for him to sit on his seat.
“He was a very cordial person and was sorry for the inconvenience he was causing. But the fact is that he had occupied half of my seat and the other half of a boy who found himself pushed to the window” – narrated Berkowitz, who added “ I made the hostess aware that a thing of this type is inacceptable and dangerous”. The hostesses however could not find any solution as all the seats were full and the rules prohibit making available the seats of flight assistants. Arrived at the destination Berkowitz was given a discount voucher of 200 dollars on the 800 dollars of the ticket.
The problem of obesity is very particular in USA and the airplane and transport companies thinking of making it compulsory for more bulky passengers to take (and pay for) two seats.
