Well, it is France, but Air France paid, and paid dearly for 'humiliating' a traveler on a recent flight.  While this doesn't mean you can eat as much as you want for Christmas and get a seat for free, it means that forcing larger travelers to purchase another eat is not a given.

Jean-Jacques Jauffret, a 43-year-old screen-writer, said he was deeply humiliated when airline staff measured his girth with wrapping tape in front of other passengers at New Delhi airport.

Air France was ordered to pay €8000 ($13,600) in damages and to reimburse the cost of his second seat, in a ruling delivered last Friday.
