#2 I'm 6'2" and 205 lb. My BMI says I'm "borderline obese" (a magic numbers rant for another time) but I don't hang over into the neighboring seats when I fly coach. I've sat next to people who really could have used the entire row themself.
Will those steamer trunks some people use as carry-on baggage be weighed also?
