I'm just curious if anyone knows any business travel policies related to 'Customers of Size', specifically in what they can charge and get reimbursed for.

For example, suppose such a person is flying Southwest (or whatever airline -- they're just the ones for sure I know have a policy) for business and are required to book an extra seat. Could the corporation refuse to pay for the extra seat and yet still require them to take the flight as part of their job? Or is that 'weight-discrimination'? Are there any legalities (in the US) about this? And if not, anyone ever heard of a travel policy that addresses it?

I'm not doing anyone favors sitting next to them in coach, though I satisfy the 'armrest down' rules and am likely to squeak by on Southwest. I tend to travel AirTran and upgrade to business class, for my comfort and others. If I run out of credits and don't qualify for an automatic upgrade, I'll pay the upgrade fee myself.
