We have to make sure that the backrest can move freely up and down and that all passengers are securely fastened with a seatbelt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cPeople who cannot fit into a single seat will then be fastened by slotting the belt tip of one seat into the plug of the next, stretching over both seats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever the charge will only apply on flights that are full booked.
