Airlines vs. Bigger Bodies: Should Fat Travelers Pay More? Airlines vs. Bigger Bodies: Should Fat Travelers Pay More? | Karel Cast  Holiday travel is here — and Southwest Airlines is back in the spotlight for its “customer of size” policy. If you’re considered too large for a single seat, they require you to buy two. Sure, you might get a refund later… but will you? And is this policy fair? Let’s be honest: airplane seats are shrinking while Americans are getting larger. Should heavier passengers be financially penalized — or should airlines be held accountable for designing seats that barely fit anyone? And what does this say about how society treats bigger bodies? Plus: As we wrap up the year, Karel dives into the best movies, best music, and standout cultural moments of 2024 — the hits, the surprises, and what’s absolutely worth your time this holiday break. And finally: What would your perfect Christmas gift be this year? Let’s talk joy, wishes, and what really matters as we close out the year.

A piece I drew as a gift to my aunt for Christmas. She likes elephants, and yes I know about Terry Pratchette’s universe, lol.
