OK, warnings over, my 2c. If it's the case of the person being physically unable to fit into an economy class seat, I think it would be a nice gesture from the airlines to allow them to be upgraded to business class if a business class seat was available - after all the seat is going to be empty anyway. They may as well sell that economy class seat to someone else. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Edit: In case some of you guys don't know, most airlines will upgrade you to business class if a) you ask
nicely; and b) ask at the gate, when they already know that their business class is not fully booked. It also helps if you're a member of that airline's Frequent Flyer program, but it's not essential. The worst they can say is no.
