Thanks for posting this. Very informative.

i found it interesting that fat people-oh, EXCUSE ME, CLINICALLY OBESE PEOPLE, are allowed to take up all of their seat and 1/2 or 1/3 or yours and there isn't DAMN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT -and the airline won't help. as what used to be considered a "normal" sized American, i find it offensive that i have to share the seat i paid for with a neighboring land whale. the primary overactive gland in most morbid obesity is the salivary gland, not the thyroid or adrenal gland. airlines need to get serious about an "exploding" problem.

Here is another source of what the airlines will actually do for you due delayed/cancelled flights. Pretty much domestic only.

Rules To Know

I think passengers had more right before deregulation came into effect.
