Air France denies plans to charge double fares for obese passengers
Johnny Depp is dead and Air France is going to charge obese passengers double fares. These are two of the headlines that have hit the news this month and as Johnny Depp is still alive and as gorgeous as ever, it is easy to see how news can be misreported and twisted to enable a good story. This is what has happened when a statement by a spokesman from Air France was misreported and started the aviation rumours flying. Air France has in fact asked obese passengers to voluntarily buy 2 seats since 2008. “It is not an obligation; we suggest to such passengers they buy a second seat for their own comfort and in order to be sure the seats are adapted to their needs. If the plane is not full, they can get a refund,” Air France spokesman Jean-Pierre Lefebvre said.
