He could be denied boarding. He can't get inside the seat.

US has already gave him fully refunded the money back but, he just paid $800 for his entire trip.
Good riddance to US!!! Where WN need to get enforced the seat policy?
When I saw the headline I assumed it would be Spirit or perhaps RyanAir but US???
Hopefully a DOT complaint will be filed and US will be fined heavily for violating safety regulations. Alas the passenger is probably unable to obtain anything more than a refund for breach of contract, though if I were him I would milk this on the talk shows, etc. as US ought to pay additional compensation for its failure to follow its own rules as well as DOT regs.
