BA bannes 500-pound passenger from flight

British Airways refuses to fly overweight passenger because of his size.

It's good to see someone picked up the ball that natural selection fumbled.

I didn't watch your video link but read a story on it. Supposedly BA flew him somewhere and then on the return journey said he was too big. Unless he put on a lot of weight whilst away, he could fit on the outbound journey so what has changed?

Apparently he was away 18 months. Topic was discussed on the BA forum here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...-problems.html. It's not clear how he managed to get a return ticket with more than 12 months validity.

BA doesn't like anyone for that matter.

As this story has already featured here on the BA forum, I'll close this thread.
