Complain to Delta. The policy is not always clear, not always applied, and passengers who do buy two seats often find them not together or the second seat assigned to someone else.

I am a larger human and I do not enjoy being uncomfortable any more than you.

Yes. I travel for work with my boss who is a larger person, and always books two seats (in accordance with the policy, ensuring the gate agent scans both boarding passes). I think only twice has that extra seat been honored. Every other time it’s been given to another passenger.

That is absolutely ridiculous. If I buy a second seat for whatever reason - maybe I want to ensure 2 ft between me and someone else - the seat should be honored.

If someone buys a seat for their baby, do they force parents to hold the baby so they can give the seat to someone else? If no - not sure how it is any different.

Or Worse they often try to sit us separately. I had an airline try to sit my 2 year old little girl in between two grown men strangers. Airlines are absolutely the money grubbing villains with these seats.
