They aren't the first. Many U.S. airlines have been doing this for
some time. Northwest charges as much as $50 USD (25UKL; 500 Yen) for
such seats between the U.S. and Japan, a little less between the U.S.
and Europe. As do United, US Airways, and several others.

I think it is a great idea.

At the moment such seats get snapped up very quickly, and getting one is
luck of the draw.

Hopefully introducing a charge will mean that tall folk will perhaps have
a _slightly_ better chance of getting these seats, providing they are
willing to pay for them.


Maybe short people will buy them and offer to sell them to tall folks for a
profit.
