Obese People Win Right to Two Airline Seats - Canadian Court
A Canadian court has ruled that obese people have the right to two seats on airlines.
The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by WestJet (Web site: www.westjet.com) and Air Canada on a decision by the Canadian Transportation Agency that people who are obese deserve to have two seats for one fare.
Currently, the policy exists on other types of public transportation such as buses, ferries and trains.
The policy for airlines will come into effect in January 2009.
