Passenger forced to stand for a seven-hour airline flight...

At nearly seven hours, US Airways flight 901 is one of the longest domestic nonstop airline flights. And Arthur Berkowitz knows how long it takes to get from Anchorage to Philadelphia down to the minute. That’s because he says he had to stand for most of the flight when he returned to Philly last July.

Why would anyone stand for that long? Because he says a morbidly obese passenger seated next to him was spilling into his personal space, making it impossibly to sit in his assigned seat, and the flight was completely full.

“I didn’t fly from Alaska to Philadelphia on flight 901,” he says. “I stood.”

 Telling an airline passenger who can’t fit into a seat to stand is pretty unusual. But it happens. The question is, what should the airline do about it? Full story...

Don't miss:
  1. Passenger kicked out of plane to allow obese person to have TWO seats!
  2. Grounded passengers forced to pay £24,000 airline fees...
  3. Ryanair passenger threatened with police arrest for not ceding her seat...
  4. Marched off flight by police because there were not enough seats... 
  5. Air India "adjusts" extra passengers in cockpit and toilets!!! 
  6. Indian airline had kids sitting on parents' laps during flight!!! 
  7. Woman banned from flight because she was not wearing ... panties??? 
  8. Passenger ordered off US Airways flight as "security risk" for snapping photo...
  9. "Thanks Delta Airlines for using my baggage as a toilet..."
