All of the above! Except for the abdominal surgery, talk away. And while I would tend to agree with Shiv that a normal standard of behaviour shouldn't need rewarding, I opted for it anyway just for the potential for encouraging evil parents to do better, in turn making their offspring into better people!
The extra money for an extra seat ... It's a tough one. While I would love for airlines to make seats bigger and better spaced in general, being the sort of person who prefers a window seat so I can lean into the wall and not have my fat arm bump my neighbour, given that they're out to make a profit I have to say I see their point. They're not making money if they're giving away seats for free. Although ... I don't know what their profitability calculations, but if a fairly low-cost airline would reduce the number of seat rows and have more options for wider seats, I would fly with them EVERY TIME, even if it cost a bit more. As would, I suspect, everyone else over 1,70 cm and/or 70 kilos.
