The U.S. has decided to block a number of seats on planes due to the weight gain of passengers, Live and Let's Fly reports.

U.S. airline United Airlines is forced to block a number of seats aboard its Boeing 757 aircraft. It is noted that this decision was made with the increase in the weight of the passengers during the winter period, so certain seats will not be available from November 1 to April 30, 2023.

Besides, the airline will take this step not only because of the increase in weight of people, but also because of the fact that in the United States they do not weigh hand luggage. The problem is also caused by winter coats and other accessories during the cold season.
