Air France: Large Fliers Can Get Second Seat For Free

by Eleanor Beardsley, NPR

Air France says most of its larger passengers will be able to book an extra seat for no extra charge.

But starting Thursday, the airline says those passengers will normally have the extra costs refunded, unless the aircraft is full.
