@prosfilaes If that was true why do they keep shrinking the size of the seats?
@prosfilaes You would rather blame others for needing multiple seats instead of the people who are in charge of setting the seat size and choose to make them smaller?
It should also be noted that Southwest airlines the one in question here only has a single seat size and passengers have no option to pay more for a bigger one.

@JoeW, they don't keep shrinking the width of the seats. If you want to blame anyone in the width of seats it's the airplane manufacturers. Again, we are talking about width here, they don't have a lot of options to play with it. To be able to play with number of seats in a row it must be a wide body plane, which in this case, southwest doesn't operate any of them.

Regarding your definition of cheap, yes, this is exactly what it means. It means breaking down the price of the plane ticket to its components allowing passengers to pick and chose what they are and aren't willing to pay for. An

They don't have to "keep" shrinking it to make it an issue, they have shrunk the size of the seats over the years and they have well gotten past the size that it has become an issue for many people.

The fact remains that all of the issues that happened in this question are the fault of the airlines starting with the fact that they overbook passengers to the fact that seats are small enough that people require multiple ones.
