If You Are Obese and Unable To Use Lavatory Should You FLy

Somehow, this doesn't compute. I don't know the width of the lav door,
but it seems that if someone can't fit through the door, they shouldn't
be able to fit between the seat rows, even if two seats were purchased.
Since she was seated on the aircraft it means she did make it down at
least one aisle. But for all we know it might have been the first class
section on a wide body aircraft.

All the same, making it through the lavatory doors seems to have been
the choke point. So I agree with Carol. She should have been denied
boarding.

Cheers! -- Rik

What about and emergency evacuation. If the abose pax was seated near
the exit it could spell disaster for more agile pax trying to get past.
