Should larger folk be forced to buy two seats or pay for an upgrade if they're going to struggle to fit into a regular seat? Should airlines weigh all passengers in advance or should the responsibility be with the passengers?
A man is suing British Airways after being "squashed" next to an obese passenger during a 13-hour flight.
Stephen Huw Prosser, who is 5ft 3in, said he suffered a pelvic injury and nerve damage in his neck on the journey from Bangkok to London in January 2016.
The 51-year-old from Tonypandy in Rhondda Cynon Taff told Pontypridd County Court the passenger "was built like the late rugby player Jonah Lomu".
He is claiming for damages and loss of earnings, which BA is resisting.
The total amount is believed to be in the region of £7,500.
Mr Prosser, a civil engineer company director, was returning home from a holiday in Thailand on 10 January 2016.
He was sitting by the window when a "huge man" took the seat next to him before takeoff.
"In my opinion he was obese as well as tall. I would estimate he was 6ft 4in in height and in excess of 22 stones," said Mr Prosser.
"He had to physically squeeze himself between the armrests. His buttocks were bulging onto my side and the rest of his bulk spilling over.
"The weight of this man's bulk was pushing my spine in a painful, unnatural and crooked position as I tried to remain in an upright position."
Mr Prosser complained to the cabin crew but was told there was no alternative seat available as the flight was full.
