Hannah has written a lot over the years about airlines making changes in their services and amenities, and I wanted her to tell me the general state of air travel and what flying was currently like for most travelers.

If you've flown recently, this isn't exactly breaking news. But what bothers me is that the conversations I've heard about flying have often included straight-sized people complaining about sitting next to a fat person as an additional frustration of flying, as if we're just another thing contributing to cramped spaces and planes instead of people who are sharing this experience with you.

But that's often not a question that comes up because like Bridget said earlier, it feels like it's our fault, or at least we're made to feel like it's our fault as fat folks.

This is your host speaking. This has been my thinking recently. Why is anyone on a plane mad at other passengers? Unless someone is being inconsiderate invading your space, like, say, putting their feet on your shoulders or drooling on you while they sleep, when we're flying, there's going to be a lot of incidental encroaching on each other's spaces. It's just going to happen.

But we're all in this together. There's no reason to be mad at someone that's in the same situation that you are. Even if a baby is crying or someone is snoring, you could put on headphones.

But it seems that we're expecting that the tacit agreement is that if you're going to fly, you better conform to the space that you're allowed rather than allowing for discussion about why that space seems to be shrinking. And one of the reasons for the squeeze is that airlines have been constantly changing how they offer services.

These changes, Hannah says, stem from the introduction of budget airlines like Spirit and Frontier.
