Re: Oh boy!
This is highly discriminatory. Wasn't there something in the news here a while back where someone sued an airline for this?

It's funny in England there is no discrimination allowed whatsoever on anything except smokers, drinkers and fat people.

Damn right they should tax them.
Nothing worse than having one of them sat next to you on a plane.

Re: Oh boy!
I don't think it counts as discrimination because the plane is limited to weight. Not that I agree with it but that's the reason why they can get away with it.

If my suitcase is 10 kilos overweight, I pay a fortune in excess baggage.
If I'm overweight I pay nothing.....
What I put in my suitcase is my choice.
Is obesity a choice?
