I think your ticket price should be a multiple of your weight plus any
baggage you may have brought...When I ship a 5 pound item through the mail
it costs less than a 50 pound item...

Yes, there have been very skinny people who have put themselves into a

I like the idea. If anything, it will be an incentive to lose weight.
But keep the luggage out of it - it won't be using your seat.

It does reduce what freight the plane can carry too tho.
Those that want to cart all their possessions around with them should pay for
doing that.

That may be the dieting incentive I need, not that I am 120+kg!

This doesn't make sense. If the plane was full, what magical seat was
she supposed to pay for?

Corse it does. If the plane is full, they could have sold the

If they want to pick on something, start with all of the damn carry
ons. I have been on a couple of flights where they had to re-open the
cargo bay because the wasn't enough room in the overhead compartments.

Fat people are a terrible drain on the earth's resources. They require more jet
fuel too.

Re: Fliers up in arms over wide passengers-Make Fat Slobs Pay!
I agree with airlines, that fat slobs such as those over 220 pounds, should
have to pay for 2 seats!!
That way, normal people who are not swine, will be able to sit in comfort in
their seats, without having parts of the hog's anatomy protruding into their
space!
For having to pay for 2 seats, of course the swine is entitled to 2 meals, and
presumably double the baggage allowance.
On a related topic, I would love to see the airlines ENFORCE THE CARRY ON
LUGGAGE RULES!! I am sick and tired of people taking half of all their worldly
possessions on board, while the cabin staff ignore the breach of this
important safety rule. No wonder the overhead bins are full. Make these
passengers pay through the nose for excess baggage, and perhaps the airlines
will then make some money, since they will not be overloaded with both fat
swine, and excess carry-on freight!!
