Radio host Charlamagne tha God praised an upcoming airline policy change on Wednesday, saying obese passengers should consider eating less food if they don\u2019t want to buy a second seat to accommodate their size.<\/p>\n

Beginning on Jan. 27, 2026, Southwest Airlines will ditch open seating, having previously had a “pick any seat” policy, allowing customers to purchase tickets in different boarding groups by selecting where they wanted to sit upon boarding the plane.<\/p>\n

The airline has also cautioned portly customers<\/a> “who encroach upon the neighboring seat(s)”\u00a0to proactively purchase the necessary number of seats prior to travel. Next month, however, such customers “will be\u00a0required\u00a0to purchase an additional seat and pay any applicable seat fee at the airport.”<\/p>\n

“Why don\u2019t they just make them fly cargo?” Charlamagne asked on “The Breakfast Club” radio show as his crew discussed the upcoming change. “And furthermore, I don\u2019t have a problem at all with this, OK? If you are too big for one seat, then you just got to buy two seats. Don’t act like the plane is doing something to you. You know how big you are!”<\/p>\n

“But what if you don’t got the bread to buy another seat, but you fat? You can\u2019t control that,” co-host Jess Hilarious said.<\/p>\n

“Well, you shouldn’t have been eating so much bread. You need to stop eating bread. All right? OK. By the way, tall people got to go through this, too! Tall people gotta buy the extra leg-room seats, so it ain\u2019t just fat people that gotta deal with this. If you\u2019re a tall person, you gotta buy extra legroom because you know you need it.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think that this is any wrongdoing of the plane, is what I\u2019m simply saying,” Charlamagne said, going on to mention how stuffing somebody who does not fit well into a seat is not only a disservice to them, but to whomever sits next to them.<\/a><\/p>\n

He later concluded by telling listeners, “So Southwest is making a push to cut costs, it\u2019s the new year, you should make a push to cut weight, OK? That should be your New Year’s resolution.”<\/p>\n
